Brandon Beemer was born in Eugene, Oregon on February 27, 1980. Of primarily German and Irish descent, he was working as a driver at the local Coca-Cola bottling plant when he was discovered. This was almost immediately after he graduated from Willamette High School in Eugene in 1998.
According to Breemer, he wanted to see the world outside Eugene so he packed and went to New York City. He ended up staying in the Big Apple for more than a year, during which time, he took some acting classes. He then decided to head to Los Angeles to really pursue his dream of acting. After a few years in Hollywood, he was able to stabilize himself in the showbiz industry. He appeared in Hilary Duff's movie, Material Girls as a supporting actor alongside Haylie Duff and Anjelica Huston. He played the role of Mic Rionn, a young famous actor who was engaged to Haylie Duff's character. He also gained attention from the producers of General Hospital, who cast him as the mysterious and brooding Seth. He also guest starred in MTV's Undressed and CSI. He also starred in the movie Suits on the Loose.

In 2006, Brandon Breemer was cast as
Shawn Brady on Days of our Lives, replacing actor Jason Cook, who had played the role since 1999.
