Acting career.
In the short film "Bug Chaser", Shucart played the role of a gay man who finds himself with an unexplainable infection after a one-night stand. "What I think the movie does beautifully is capture the fear and anxiety that comes with hooking up that every gay man can relate to."
Under the name Brenden Gregory, he appeared in "Interior. Leather Bar.", a docufiction film directed by James Franco and Travis Mathews. He also appeared in Mathews' 2010 short film "I Want Your Love", but not in its 2012 feature film adaptation.
