Tony Edmound Brazil (born May 27, 1990) is an American actor. Brazil was born in Bel Air, Maryland, to a neglectful family. Leading to a bizare personality which, along with his cherubic face and charming skills, was among his most distinguishing features. He has undergone plenty of ridicule from the press. He is best remembered for his role as Steve Hendrick in the American sitcom That's What She Said.

During the two year run of the show, where his famous catchphrase was "How 'bout a fist?", Brazil was a popular figure, starring in a number of feature films and made-for-TV movies including How About Now (a spin off from That's What She Said, and Poor Boys do Business. Poor Boys do Business eventually served as the basis for the Jack of all Trades-produced animated series The Tony Brazil Show from 1994. The Tony Brazil Show Was later taken off the air due to copyright infringements on a popular kids show Bobby's World.

At the height of his fame on That's What She Said, Brazil earned $70,000 per episode. As he grew older, however, he fell from public favor. After the cancellation of The Tony Brazil Show, his acting career declined sharply.
