The 'Property Brothers' Started Their Careers On TV But It Wasn’t For Home Renovations

Two brothers from Vancouver — now known as the hosts of Property Brothers — have fixed hundreds of family homes since 2011, and are now well-known celebrities.

Before becoming real estate experts though, the twins had a different kind of career. While it was still on television, home renovations weren't at the top of their list.

Drew Scott and Jonathan Scott were actors, singers, and film producers — all before becoming well-known celebrities.

Jonathan, who's the older of the two, had his first acting role in 1994. According to IMDb, he played Blue Beret in one episode of The X-Files TV series.

Since then, he's had eight appearances including Breaker High, Millenium, and Atomic Train. His last role was in the 2011 short, The Oracle, which he starred in opposite his two brothers.

The younger of the pair has quite a few more credits under his belt. Drew's IMDb page notes that for his first role in 1997 he appeared on Breaker High as Deck Guy #2. Most of his 20 appearances include TV series like Madison and For Your Security, as well as shorts including The Perfect Proposal, Karma Inc., and A Better Me — which he directed, wrote and starred in.

In 2006, Drew had a role on Smallville as Danny. Country Living claims that in an interview with WGN 9, the actor turned real estate agent "revealed that he was actor Tom Welling's body double" on the series.

"These abs were shown a few times," he joked.

On top of all that, in 2017 Drew was also a contestant on season 25 of Dancing with the Stars. He was partnered with English dancer Emma Slater.

But he wasn't the only one who was offered another reality TV gig. When Jonathan was single in 2014, he was contacted by The Bachelor producers and offered a spot on the show.

Luckily he turned it down, or his adorable relationship with actress Zooey Deschanel may not have happened.

Both brothers have over 80 credits on IMDb for appearing on talk shows, reality TV, guest appearances, and of course for their many series in the Property Brothers franchise.

While starring in a variety of TV shows and shorts, the brothers also honed in on their love for film production.

According to IMDb, "around 2004, they became heavily involved behind the scenes, producing and promoting independent film projects."

Their love for entertainment doesn't end there. Country Living wrote that they've released three country songs as well.

The songs that can be found on YouTube are called "Let the Night Shine In," "Hold On," and even a cover of Flo Rida's "My House."

If you thought singing was an interesting twist, it may also surprise you to hear that off-screen, Jonathan is a very talented magician.

IMDb wrote that he was "formerly one of the world's youngest international illusionists."

HGTV claims that Drew had a love for clowning around.

They wrote that he "performed as a clown until he tired of the costumes and face paint" and has since hung up his red nose.

The multi-talented brothers are clearly unstoppable.
