Brody was born in New York City on April 14, 1973, and was drawn to acting from a very young age. When he was twelve years old he began to perform as a magician at children's parties. Having studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and the High School for the Performing Arts, he found his earliest work in off-Broadway productions, and made his television debut in 1998 with a PBS movie and a role as Mary Tyler Moore's son in the sitcom Annie McGuire. After making several moderately-successful films, Brody was included as one of the "Hot, Young, and Full of Fun" cover boys on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine.

Born and raised in New York City, Brody began acting at camp as a child but first found some notoriety as the subject of photographs taken by his mother, famed photographer Sylvia Plachy. He often credits Plachy for his acting career as her commission to shoot at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts led to Brody's enrollment in the school's young people's weekend program, where he quickly found his calling.

The movie is about three American brothers (played by Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman) who have not spoken to each other in a year. They set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest"... veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins.
