Brock was born and raised in the suburbs of Denver. We’re talking minivans, soccer moms, orange slices during t-ball. You get it. After 10 years of theatre in Colorado, Brock booked his first acting job in Los Angeles while still in high school. Brock attended Chapman University where he graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics. During his time in college, Brock continued to act professionally and interned for several titans of the industry – including GREG BERLANTI at Warner Bros. Brock’s holistic approach, and thirst for a comprehensive understanding of the industry, has led him to create and pitch both scripted and non-scripted series around the city.
Brock is most known for his role on ABC’s comedy THE MIDDLE, where he heavily recurred as Brad Bottig for 9 all seasons. In 2018, Brock was brought on as a series regular for The Middle’s spin-off, SUE SUE IN THE CITY. Most recently, Brock can be seen in Universal's tentpole rom com, BROS and in Netflix's flashy series, GLAMOROUS. Here in Los Angeles, Brock has starred in many theater productions including the 1-man-comedy FULLY COMMITTED where Brock, the sole actor, played 37 different characters.
Brock joined Stan Kirsch Studios in 2016 (his consultation was with fellow faculty teacher Angela!). As part of the SKS team, Brock leans his favorite pillar of Stan’s teachings: success is shared.

I used to be solely focused on booking jobs, but learning to love the auditioning process was KEY to my overall happiness as an actor and KEY to a better booking ratio. Win win!
