Brad Van Darn (Japanese: ブラッド・キタオ Brad Kitao) is one of the characters of the day in The Screen Actor's Guilt.
Brad is an action movie star with many female fans. He is known for starring in a movie called "Ultra Maximum". Ash and his friends first met the star when he approached them in disguise and handed them a bundled-up blanket. He asked them to watch it for him and then left. Inside the blanket was a Smoochum. Later on, he went to search for Ash and his friends to get his Smoochum back, but couldn't find them anywhere due to them having an interference with Team Rocket. His manager, Vitzo, soon found Brad and ordered him to go back to the set with him.

However, they were confronted by his manager, who told them that Brad didn't want Smoochum anymore. When they were about to leave, Brad heard Smoochum's voice and came running. He was overjoyed to have her back. Vitzo suggested to him that he should get rid of Smoochum because he feared that his reputation would be ruined, for such an actor with manly roles should not have a cute Pokémon. He wanted Brad to have a tough Pokémon, such as Charizard or Houndoom. However, Brad explained that he could never abandon Smoochum, because it was because of her that he was able to get as far as he did in stardom.
