Skyler Augustus Gisondo (born July 22, 1996)[1] is an American actor. He starred in Santa Clarita Diet and Vacation. He also had a role as Young Shawn in Psych.
Early life and education[]
Gisondo was born in Palm Beach County, Florida. His parents, Stacey (née Berke) and Ron, are ocean engineers. His last name comes from his paternal grandfather, who was Italian-American. His other three grandparents were Jewish.[2] After he began working frequently, he was homeschooled for several years.[3] He spent a number of years in high school involved in the Jewish organization USY, including going to Israel on a program offered by them. He attended Milken Community High School in Los Angeles, graduating in 2014.[4][5]
In 2015, he began attending the University of Southern California's film school, at first full-time and later, part-time before taking a hiatus to film The Santa Clarita Diet. He has stated that he plans to finish his college education.[3]
Career[]
Gisondo began acting on television at the age of six. In Southern California, his mother sent photos of him to talent agencies. This led to a successful audition for a national Pizza Hut commercial. Gisondo later appeared in other commercials, television series and movies.
Personal life[]
Gisondo grew up in Florida and later moved to South Bay, Los Angeles. He is a resident of Manhattan Beach.[4]
While filming Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb in Vancouver, Gisondo asked Ben Stiller and Robin Williams to help him film a "promposal" formally asking his girlfriend to senior prom. They filmed a three-minute comedy routine with Crystal the Monkey.[4][6]
Skyler has been in a relationship with Ari Haagen since July 2018.[7]
