Brandon Lessard elaborates, “One of the best pieces of advice I received on the set of ‘Unholy Trinity’ came during a quiet moment in the barn after a gunfight scene. Pierce Brosnan and I were reflecting on what brought our characters together, and it was in that scene I realized the depth of storytelling we were engaging in. It wasn’t just about the action; it was about understanding the soul of my character, Henry Broadway. Pierce’s performance at that moment was a masterclass in acting, helping me to find the emotional truth of Henry. This project was more than just a role; it was a journey into the heart of what it means to be an actor.”  

Behind the scenes, Lessard shares candid anecdotes that bring to life the camaraderie and challenges of filming. Whether it’s the accidental scattering of ashes in his face or his star-struck moment with Samuel L. Jackson, Lessard’s experiences on the set of “Unholy Trinity” are as diverse as they are fascinating. His dedication to the role extended beyond the camera, with a rigorous workout regimen and a strict diet that helped him embody the physicality of Henry Broadway. His introduction to cryotherapy, as recommended by director Richie, became a staple in his recovery process, illustrating the lengths to which Lessard went to ensure his performance was nothing short of remarkable.

Off-camera, Lessard found solace in the small moments—grabbing coffee, cheating on his diet with some candy, or simply chatting with the crew and horse wranglers. These moments of downtime were crucial for Lessard, helping him unwind and stay grounded amidst the demanding shoot.
