Personal life and career
[edit]Darbo was born in France, and moved to Beijing, China at a young age, where he would live for a decade before residing in the US. His acting career began at 6 when he and his family were approached by a casting agent in a shopping mall. He would star in various projects, such Fengyatou and My DV Diary, when his popularity quickly spread.[3][4] His feature film debut was in Kung Fu Man, starring alongside Tiger Chen and produced by Keanu Reeves.[2] In 2013, he starred in Deep Sleep No More.
In 2015, Darbo was cast in Defenders of Life and won the silver medal for Best Actor Under 18 at the Global Independent Film Awards.[5]
In 2017, Darbo appeared alongside Sawyer Barth in And Then I Go as the lead role of Edwin. Barth, who plays Flake, originally auditioned for the role as well but was called back to try out for his character, Flake.[6] Darbo described going into the role, saying, "It’s not like I must be a completely different person for the role, I just had to explore a part of myself I’d never explored before."[7]
In 2019, Darbo starred in horror film Itsy Bitsy, and, in 2020, starred in sci-fi film Greatland as the lead role of Ulysses. In addition to the role, he also composed some of the music for the film.[8]
He currently resides in Los Angeles, California, and attends Los Angeles Valley College.[9]
