The Seattle-born actor made a big splash in 2014 when he landed his most prominent role to date as Jason McCord on the CBS drama Madam Secretary. Before fame came knocking, this talented actor got his start performing in musical theater in San Diego, CA—really laying the groundwork for what would become a promising career. When he was just 12 years old, he snagged his first on-screen appearance with a guest role on Disney’s Jessie, which marked the beginning of his journey into television. The Seattle-born actor has a younger brother named Elliot, and family seems to have played an important role throughout his upbringing. He later moved from California to New York, where he not only pursued acting but also dedicated himself to personal growth—working hard to earn the prestigious title of Eagle Scout. That kind of determination clearly runs deep in the Seattle-born actor, shaping both his character and his path in life.
