Early life

Brammall was born in Canberra.[2] He was born with the rare genetic disorder prune belly syndrome and his doctors did not think he would survive. He underwent several operations and spent quite a lot of time in and out of hospital during the first 10 years of his life.[1][3] He attended St Thomas the Apostle primary school in Kambah and secondary at Marist College Canberra.

In 2013, Brammall reprised the role of Sean Moody for the eight-part series, The Moodys. He also wrote episode 5 of the series, and was consequently nominated for an Australian Writers' Guild award for Best Narrative Comedy.

In 2013 he acted in The Elegant Gentleman's Guide to Knife Fighting, a sketch comedy show for the ABC, before going on to play Rupert Murdoch in the Nine Network miniseries, Power Games: The Packer-Murdoch War, which went to air in September 2013.
