Brent posted two videos titled Exposing Our Relationship and Exposing Our Relationship 2.

He was the lead actor in the film Alexander IRL

Brent realized his dreams of being an actor when he was cast to play the role of Alexander in the film Alexander IRL. Brent played the role of a high school student who threw a party in a bid to become one of the cool kids. Brent talked to Bustle about the movie;

“The movie is a coming of age story, and it’s about how young people today are so glued to their phones and to social media. Some of that is really great, because everyone is more connected to each other, but a lot of it makes it so that there are alter-egos – you might try to be someone that you’re really not.”

Brent was picked by the producers because he appealed to the age bracket that the movie targeted. According to the show’s director, Asher Levin, Brent was also the perfect candidate to play the role of a high school boy. Levin called Brent a superstar of the future while speaking to Bustle;

“The idea was to bring someone like Brent, who has such an incredible reach with people 12-18 and above, to get them to watch one of these movies. Brent allowed us to have a whole captive audience. Brent also has an amazing mix of qualities that makes for a great leading man in a teen film.”

Brent enjoyed the experience, but he had to adapt to the lengthy process of filmmaking. Brent later starred in the shows Brobot and Light as a Feather.

He was the face of Hollister’s anti-Bullying campaign

In 2016, Brent teamed up with Hollister on their anti-bullying campaign. The campaign was close to Brent’s heart because he had experienced bullying on his online platforms. He told Us Magazine;

“The partnership with Hollister allows me the opportunity to help spread much needed awareness around bullying and cyberbullying, something I have actually dealt with on my personal channels. I am hopeful that the content I have created in collaboration with Hollister will resonate with my fans and teens around the world.”

Brent was involved in spreading awareness and raising money for the cause. Rivera elaborated that the bullying he experienced was worse during the early days of his career. However, he chose to stay strong and because of that, he became successful. Brent said;

“For me, when I started making videos online, I was getting a lot of comments in person and online about being weird, and that’s being bullied. But I stayed strong and stayed positive, and over time, my videos caught on.”
