Cody Christian
Actor Cody Christian earned a sizable following among teenaged television viewers for his turns as troubled young men on such popular series as "Pretty Little Liars" (ABC Family/Freeform, 2010-17) and "Teen Wolf" (The CW, 2011-17). Born Cody Allen Christian on April 15, 1995 in Portland, Maine, he was raised on a reservation by his mother, who was a member of the Penobscot Nation. Christian began his screen acting career in short film projects before transitioning to guest roles in episodic television series like "True Blood" (HBO, 2008-2014) and "Grey's Anatomy" (ABC, 2005- ), as well as minor turns in features like the Bruce Willis starrer "Surrogates." In 2010, he landed his breakout role as troubled Mike Montgomery, whose anger issues and battles with his sister, Aria (Lucy Hale), formed the backbone of his story arc on "Pretty Little Liars." When the series ran its course, Christian was cast on "Teen Wolf" in a recurring role as Theo Raeken, a malevolent, genetically altered lycanthrope who posed trouble for Tyler Posey's titular manbeast. The popularity of these two series gave Christian's profile a considerable boost, which led to roles in two features - as a small-town teenager in the dystopian dark comedy "Assassination Nation" (2018) and a starring role as a one-armed mixed martial arts fighter in "Notorious Nick" (2018) - and series regular work on "All American" (The CW, 2018- ), a school/sports drama based on the life and career of professional football player Spencer Paysinger. Christian played a privileged young man whose position on a Beverly Hills high school football team is threatened by the arrival of a new student (Daniel Ezra) from South Central Los Angeles.
