Happy by nature, never shy, he loves making people laugh and is always entertaining those around him. Growing up, Drew took part in school skits and drama performances. He was a favorite with his teachers, especially his choir teacher.

At age eleven, just after returning to California, Drew told his mother he wanted to be an actor and make movies. His favorite actor at the time was Hayden Christensen and he had watched the Star Wars movies over and over so many times that he could quote whole passages of dialogue. He started taking an acting class but soon after told his mother it was boring. However, it didn’t change his mind about wanting to be an actor.

Later he asked to attend an event where he performed a monologue from Huckleberry Finn for numerous talent agents and managers. He was an obvious favorite and shortly following the event, Drew signed with a Los Angeles talent agency and a manager. With the support of his family, it wasn’t long before he was living in LA and pursuing his dream full time.

And like a dream come true, Drew consistently meets every goal he sets for himself. From starring in his first student film, to booking a lead role in his first feature film, he continues to reach higher as his dreams get bigger.
