Colleagues describe him as "Brian is a talented director who pulls off an impossible feat everyday - bringing order to the chaos of a live television production. When an entire show is changing and time is getting short, he keeps his cool and figures out a way to get the job done. In the control room, the show can feel rough and unpredictable but the viewer at home never notices that with Brian at the helm. One of his greatest assets as a director is his dedication -- he cares deeply about the product we put on television and he does everything he can to make sure that happens. He has an enthusiasm for the job that most people lose after a long time in the industry. I have worked with Brian since he came to WBZ and his job requirements have changed significantly in that time, but Brian has adapted and succeeded every step of the way." and "It is without hesitation that I recommend Brian Gentry as the best director I had the privilege to work with in my decade of work in the TV news industry. Instead of directing with just a technical eye, Brian directs with the viewer in mind, and that is what sets him apart from his peers. It is not enough to say that Brian pays attention to details; Brian will catch your mistakes before they happen, but never make you feel inferior in the process. In rundown meetings, he routinely pointed out possible rough spots and discussed how we could make them smooth while preserving my delicate producer's ego - something I always appreciated. In the booth, his sense of urgency never crossed over into panic or anger; he always maintained control in the face of chaos. I am confident that Brian Gentry will excel in any televised format, managing to ensure the vision and philosophy of the programming is matched with smooth and flawless direction."
