American athlete, nicknamed "Brandy," who played various sports (basketball, football, handball, track, etc.) for the University of Kentucky and later for Occidental College in Los Angeles, becoming athletic manager for the latter until he left to serve in World War I. He reached the rank of Sergeant First Class (though one article referred to him as a Corporal) before he succumbed to pneumonia while stationed at Camp Logan in Houston, Texas. He and Hal Roach played handball together for the Los Angeles Athletic Club, an association which undoubtedly led to Brandstetner's one known film appearance. His World War I draft registration card gives a birth year of 1892, but the 1900 Census says 1891, which is also suggested by the 1910 Census. |
