After high school Bradley began creating, building, and performing original characters. In 2018 Sesame Street held a workshop to train young puppeteers from around the world. Out of over 400 international applicants, he was one of 30 selected to participate. This got him on Sesame Street‘s radar, and several years later they held auditions for a new character named Wes. After a long audition process, he got the part, and since then his world has completely changed. You can now see him on Sesame Street as Tamir, Wes, Timmy Twiddlebug, and many others. You can also watch him as The Pigeon with Mo Willems on The Pigeon Explains on YouTube. His work has also been featured on shows like The View, Helpsters, Michael Bublé’s Christmas in the City, The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Muppets Mayhem and more.
