He is probably just being on the safe side, that is an expensive frickup. Regular bricks on a house are called brick veneer, they don't hold up the house, not structural. If the bricks were tied into the walls properly, they should be ok, but...

How much weight on the TV? Flush mount or swinging arm?

swinging arm. there was an old telecom speaker that i removed, so i have a hole there. there is a stud right there so i placed a 2x4 on the stud between the brick and the stud wall (1 3/4" space between them).

when i meant veneer, i meant the thin ones that are on top of dry wall for interior walls.
