He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in drama in 2015.[4]

[edit]He made his Off-Broadway debut in 2016 in the Classic Stage Company production of Dead Poets Society as Meeks.[5][6] Two years later, he made his Broadway debut in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child as a replacement for Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy in 2018.[7]
In 2023, he appeared in the Off-Broadway production of Swing State as Ryan, produced by Audible Theatre at the Minetta Lane Theatre.[8] For his performance, he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award,[9][10] an Outer Critics Circle Award[11] and a Lucille Lortel Award.[12]
Following this, he began work on his first play, Well, I'll Let You Go, which would debut in 2026 at The Space at Irondale, starring Quincy Tyler Bernstine and directed by Jack Serio. The production ran from July 29, 2025, to September 12, 2025.[13] Following a successful run, the play transferred to Studio Seaview and opened on April 30, 2026, due to run through June 20, 2026.[14] For his work on the latter, he received the 2026 Outer Critics Circle John Gassner Award.[15]
