Brian Gerard Kaelin was born on March 9, 1959, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. One of six children, he was raised in a Catholic household by parents Al and Izzy. His mom worked as a nurse and his father as a liquor salesman. Kaelin attended Nicolet High School, where he was named prom king. During his tenure, he also showed great promise as a baseball player. He pursued his undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin (Eau Claire) but dropped out shy of a degree.

CAREER
While attending Eau Claire, Kaelin created and hosted his very own talk show ‘Kato and Friends.’ He also gained some experience hosting ‘The Gameshow’ on the school’s TV station. In 1979, the hopeful Kaelin moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in show business. He struggled at first, working odd jobs such as waiting tables and as a production assistant. His early acting credits include the comedy film, Beach Fever (1987), and the horror flick, Night Shadow (1989). In 1992, Kaelin befriended Nicole Brown Simpson (O.J. Simpson’s ex-wife). He was given an opportunity to stay at her guesthouse.

On June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were murdered on the Simpson’s Rockingham estate. O.J. Simpson was arrested and tried on 2 counts of murder. The high-profile criminal trial ran from January 1995 to October 1995. Dubbed a key witness, Kaelin offered his testimony with regards to O.J. Simpson’s whereabouts before and after the murders. However, his testimony was thrown out, with the lead prosecutor declaring him as a hostile witness.

Following the murder trial, Kaelin leveraged his growing popularity and turned it into a successful acting career. In 1995, he made guest appearances on Fox’s MADtv, and on HBO’s Mr. Show with Bob and David.
