He’s a talented television and stage actor, best known for his role as the bully Trevor on Fox’s Raising Hope, a part he played from 2011 to 2013. That role really put him on the map, and fans still recognize him for it. Before he became well-known, though, his passion for acting started at a young age. When he was just six years old, he saw The Lion King live at The Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles—and that experience changed everything. Right then and there, he knew he wanted to be an actor.
Not one to wait around, he quickly signed up for acting, dancing, and singing classes to start building his skills. Growing up, he lived in Calabasas, which is where he began attending Calabasas High School in 2013. It was during those high school years that he truly found his place in the drama club, thriving in the creative environment. One of his standout performances came when he took on the role of Puck in the school’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream—a role that showcased his energy and stage presence.
Throughout his journey, he’s remained dedicated to his craft, and his early determination continues to shape his career today. He’s proof that following your passion from a young age can lead to something truly special.
He really had a blast playing the antagonist on Raising Hope—it was one of those roles that just brought him so much joy. His character was quirky, to say the least, and had this unforgettable pet chimpanzee, which made things even more interesting. Because of that, he ended up spending a ton of time on set not just rehearsing lines, but actually hanging out with monkeys. He’d often joke about how chaotic yet fun it was, being around such lively animals all day. It definitely added a unique flavor to his experience on Raising Hope, and honestly, he wouldn’t have had it any other way.
