Introduction
Gavin Casalegno is an American actor.
He is best known for his work in The Vampire Diaries, Noah, and the coming-of-age drama The Summer I Turned Pretty.
The Origin Story
Casalegno was born in Dallas, Texas, on September 2, 1999.
He is the eldest of three siblings. His younger sister, Ashlyn Casalegno, is also an actor; she starred in the superhero drama Logan alongside Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman.
Casalegno got into acting at a young age, starring in a Papa John’s commercial when he was only seven years old.
His mother, Allyson Casalegno, acted as his manager and accompanied him on set when he was a minor.
Following Casalegno’s breakout role in Noah, his mother hired a third party to manage him full-time.

Gavin attended Lovejoy High School in Texas. However, due to his acting career, he missed a lot of school.
He made up for this by doing three hours of tutoring every day while on set, as well as completing what he described as “40 pounds of homework” when getting back from filming.
Acting Career
Casalegno’s first major role came in the 2014 biblical blockbuster movie Noah, where he starred as ‘Young Shem.’
Casalegno worked alongside such Hollywood veterans as Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connolly, Emma Watson, and Anthony Hopkins.
The movie was shot on location in Iceland, which proved grueling for the young actor.
During filming, his mother was on set at all times and, acting as his manager, ensured that he received sufficient tutoring so as not to fall behind with his school studies.
