Brighton Millhouse Sheffield is portrayed by Benjamin Salisbury in the comedy series The Nanny. The only son of the Sheffield family, he’s a troublemaker who makes life hard for his sisters and doesn’t initially get along with their nanny Fran Fine. At one point, Fran reports Brighton to his father for smoking cigarettes, causing even more friction for them. Brighton also tends to be hormonal and girl-crazy, preferring Fran’s buxom rival Heather as a nanny instead. Despite his faults, Brighton also plans to become a Broadway producer like his father, and obsesses over his trust fund constantly. He also joins a Canasta league with his future grandmother Sylvia (Fran’s mother).
