Brian Christopher O'Halloran (born September 1, 1965 in Old Bridge, New Jersey) is an American actor best known for his roles in Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse films, notably as Dante Hicks in Smith's debut film Clerks., and its 2006 sequel, "Clerks II". Aside from this, he has done small appearances in all of Smith's films, either as his Clerks' character Dante Hicks or one of his cousins.

He was also the lead actor in "Vulgar" (2000), an obscure movie about a small town's clown who gets traumatized after he is attacked in one of his performances.

Brian grew up in Old Bridge, New Jersey. He has worked on theatre productions since high school. Brian has said on the subject of doing theatre: "Oh, yeah. It's the best training you can do, as an actor. To be in front of a live audience. There's no 'stop, wait, oh geez, what was that line again?' It just sharpens your reflexes. It sharpens your interaction. And it definitely sharpens your memory because you have to know an entire show from beginning to end." [1]

Since Clerks., O'Halloran has primarily been a stage actor, working with the Boomerang Theatre Company, the New Jersey Repertory Company and the Tri-State Actors Theatre, among others. He continues to make New Jersey his home.

On the October 5, 2006 episode of Deal or No Deal, O'Halloran was seen in the audience.
