About

When Brian Carroll came to Hollywood from Lancaster, PA, he had one goal in mind: to see his name in the credits of a movie. In 2007, he finally did, thanks to his job as assistant to the animation director on “Alvin And The Chipmunks.” On the way to that achievement, Brian has utilized his encyclopedic knowledge of pop music as researcher for many TV shows including “Celebrity Duets,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” “American Top 40 Live” and “American Bandstand’s 50th Anniversary,” on books including “The Billboard Book of Number One Hits” and “Billboard’s Hottest Hot 100 Hits” and as a writer for the radio shows “Countdown America Starring Dick Clark” and “American Top 40 With Casey Kasem.” He has also talked to every major movie star while covering movie junkets for The Interview Factory.
