Hometown: Kensington, Conn.
Credits: “Dolphin Tale” (film); “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” (TV)
Representation: CAA; Justice & Ponder
Most recent acting job: Playing Patrick Swayze as Bodhi from “Point Break” on Halloween. I was in character all night: “It’s where you lose yourself, and find yourself.” Classic.
Most exciting career moment: Getting signed at CAA seemed so daunting to me. When I was called in to meet with the talent department for my official signing I was overwhelmed with pride at the thought that I was a part of such a vast and diverse group of talented artists. Might have been the best day of my life.
Favorite play or musical: If you don’t feel uncomfortable watching “The Late Henry Moss,” the production has failed. When done well it is so visceral and raw that you leave the theater feeling like you just went 10 rounds with a prizefighter.
