He’s best known for his role as Scott Rosson on the popular teen drama Gossip Girl, where he made a memorable impression across six episodes in 2009. Before gaining recognition, he actually started acting at a young age, getting his first taste of the spotlight with performances at the Home Made Theater in New York. That early passion led him to further hone his craft by studying at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City—yes, the same place where many aspiring actors dream of training. Born and raised in New York City, he grew up surrounded by creativity and culture, thanks in part to his supportive parents, Michele and Rob Riggi. All in all, his journey—from childhood roles to appearing on a hit show like Gossip Girl—shows just how much dedication and background can shape an actor’s path. And honestly, it’s no surprise that he found success, given the strong foundation he built early on.
In 2010, he made an appearance in the movie Vampires Suck, which was a comedic take on the Twilight saga. Then, in 2013, he had a minor role in Martin Scorsese’s film The Wolf of Wall Street.
