Like most kids his age, little Gavin Casalegno grew up watching television with his parents and discovered the fascination of commercials. Turned out, it was a moment of epiphany: After telling his parents about his interests in commercials, they took him to a local audition and Casalegno tried out. The rest, as they say, is history.
Born in 1999, Casalegno began his acting career when he was six years old, appearing in a number of commercials. His acting journey, interestingly, was actually preceded by a modelling career. So far, Casalegno has starred in various television series and motion pictures, including “I Am… Gabriel,” “Dead Still” and the epic drama “Noah,” in which he plays a biblical character. Recently, DA MAN had the opportunity to talk with Casalegno about his acting journey while discussing how family and faith play an important role in his search of peace and solace.
