My Take
Bradford was a fixture of early-2000s teen cinema, and his easy charm in Bring It On made him the kind of love interest who actually felt like a real person. What gets overlooked is the range underneath the heartthrob casting; he was genuinely unsettling in Swimfan and held his own in serious work like Flags of Our Fathers. I always thought he deserved a bigger run than he got. The fact that he studied at Columbia and branched into other ventures suggests a guy who kept his head on straight while Hollywood chewed through his peers.
