The 19-year-old actor has come a long way from Bristol, where he graduated from Warren Snyder Elementary School and Bristol High.
He has had small parts in a few movies, and a bigger one in the soon-to-be-released Bandslam, about high schoolish musicians, with High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens. And he has done “motion-capture” animation and voice-over for a video game.
