Unlike most here I will offer sensible advices...Brian should shave the 'beard' and what is left of his head hair so that he looks bigger on stage.
I'll take it a step further. He should shave the beard and shave his head with a razor. He will look way more symmetrical and will land more eyes on him.
Definitely needs to shave the beard and if he doesn't shave the head clean, he should certainly get an edgy haircut, something like a fade and make it look like an inner city Puerto Rican or black guy. He needs to spice it up a bit to get the judges' attention.
I'm thinking something like this for the WOW factor:

Some might think I am messing around here, but I know many of these NPC judges fairly well and they like something different.
