He never set out to become a star. In fact, his acting career began almost by accident — mostly because the idea of doing less school sounded like a great deal.

This ’90s heartthrob broke into acting before he even turned 10, quickly booking roles across TV and film. By the time most kids his age were worried about homework, he was already starring in major projects and appearing regularly on screens across the country.
