Smith in 2009 as well as an alleged sexual assault he came forward about in 2018 that was said to have happened in 2003 while Brendan didn't publicly speak about his experience as a victim at the time

Hiatus from Hollywood and the public eye he did have a longtime home in Los Angeles where he lived for about a decade the Sleek contemporary home last appeared on the market in 2016 for the price of $4.5 million but brandan had previously sold it around 2007 for 2 .99 million according to records he and his family had lived here for just over a decade after he would purchase it in 1996 for the discount price of $675,000 just as he was making his name in Hollywood the mid-century modern pad was located in the coveted post office neighborhood of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles on a private culdesac overlooking a canyon of course there was also a gate out front and plenty of security it's reported that the home was built in 19 1959 and of course has been updated immensely over the years offering up 3,948 ft of space with three bedrooms and four bathrooms throughout there was also a bonus bedroom that Brendan used as a home gym while living here listing materials from the time of sale said the architect Rex Lottery built the house in the quintessential mid-century design and the home had been expanded and reinterpreted for the Millennium walking into Brendan's former home there was a and Airy Vibe along with an open floor plan the property boasted soaring ceilings with full walls of glass plenty of white in the color scheme and other details like glass and stainless steel throughout to complement these Sleek aspects of the home there are warm blonde hardwood floors underfoot and clester windows in the main living room the focal point was definitely the double height wall of Windows that offered up views of the city Canyon and ocean while a second floor balcony with Maple floors look down into into this room too The Galley kitchen here was slightly narrow with a long Chrome counter and white cabinets as well as modern appliances there was also an attached dining space with built-in Booth seating while for more formal meals the kitchen opened right up to the sunny glass wall dining room upstairs there was a second Loft style family room as well Brendan's former home truly embodied a Hollywood lifestyle considering other amenities inside other than the home gym included a photography dark room a home theater a wine seller and an office out of the bedrooms there were actually two master suites in the home one of which was slightly more impressive than the other that Master Suite had a loft fireplace and sitting area from which you could see the hills through Flor to ceiling glass the entire home was designed to easily blend the indoor and outdoor spaces with many of the glass walls retracting to lead to The Terraces for instance glass doors off of the living room opened right up to a deck and the multiple Terraces on the property take advantage of California's warm weather there's a tree shaded patio amongst the outso entertaining spaces while tucked at the back of the house you'll find the solar heated swimming pool and spa which was also equipped with waterfalls while this stunning home served brandan for a number of years before moving on from it he ultimately moved away from the West Coast a while after to the state of New York while no photos or certain details about the actor's New York residence have been revealed Brendan has been living here for a hand of years now he opened up his property to be interviewed by GQ Magazine back in 2018 which is when this was confirmed but it would seem he lived there before then as well after divorcing his wife of 10 years Afton Smith in 2008 eventually Brendan moved to Bedford New York which is on the outskirts of the city and also close to where his ex-wife lives with their three sons in Connecticut his 2018 GQ interview did share a glimpse into his property in Bedford Brendan showed them his horse whose name is pasas Frasier met the horse on the set of the History Channel series Texas Rising where he played a Texas Ranger which was filmed in Mexico Brendan said about the horse that they had a moment and that without pretending that the animal is a human he looked like he needed help like get me out of here man well Brendan keeps his horse in a barn in Bedford which he reportedly lives nearby to and his main property is said to overlook this farm he also reveals he's located about an hour north of Manhattan also in the interview we're told that Brendan lives down a dirt road in a tall angular house with a wide lawn that descends to a glittering Lake but that's almost all we know about the place and inside his home is said to consist mainly of dark wood but also boasts an open planed layout and fuel with windows that look right out to the backyard he also has space on his property for a handful of activities as there is a soccer goal trampoline tether ball area zipline swimming pool and More in his yard Brendan's Sons reported ly spent a lot of time on the property with him when they aren't at their mom's place so there's always plenty of activities for them to enjoy we also know that Brandon himself has a large array of hobbies from being an accomplished amateur photographer and he's even an accomplished amateur Archer using his skills in the show Texas Rising well it's obvious that Brandon Frasier has kept himself busy during his break from onscreen Productions everyone seems delighted to have the star back where he belongs it seems that with Brendan's transformative role in the whale which was already met with praise alongside the other big upcoming roles he has this could very well be his major comeback we'll
