He was born October 18, 1987. That was in San Luis Obispo, California, not exactly the center of Hollywood, but not too far away from it either. The young Disney talent was a studious boy, determined to succeed in school despite his active extracurricular life. He was, of course, a drama student too. Then his drama teacher recommended him to a talent agent, which led to Creative Artists Agency signing the young man. In 2006, he went to USC. He would get his start in Hollywood while attending school at the same time.
