Niles Fitch

Niles Fitch, born on July 12, 2001, in Atlanta, Georgia, began his career in the entertainment industry at an early age. His parents, a financial advisor and an attorney, supported his interest in performing, leading to his first talent agent at three years old. He initially engaged in print and commercial advertisements. By age seven, he signed with Wilhelmina Models, an international agency, commuting to New York City. At nine, he joined J. Pervis Talent in Atlanta and made his theatrical debut as Young Martin Luther King, Jr. in the musical “I Dream” in 2010, directed by Jasmine Guy. This early exposure set the foundation for his acting career.

Fitch’s career progressed with a relocation to New York City in August 2010. In 2011, he was cast as Young Simba in Disney’s The Lion King musical North American Gazelle Tour. During this tour, he received the Denver Post Ovation Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Touring Show for his opening night performance. His prime-time television debut occurred at the same time in an episode of Tyler Perry’s “House of Payne” on November 4, 2011. He continued his role as Young Simba on Broadway in February 2012. Following his Broadway run, Fitch joined the cast of “Army Wives” as Deuce, the son of Latasha Montclair, played by Ashanti.

In 2016, Fitch moved to Los Angeles and became a series regular in the NBC drama “This Is Us,” portraying Teen Randall. Concurrently, he secured guest roles in shows such as “Mistresses,” “Best Friends Whenever,” “Mixed-ish,” and “Atypical.” His film career expanded with leading roles in “Roman J. Israel, Esq.” alongside Denzel Washington, “The Fallout,” and as Disney’s first live-action Black Prince in “Secret Society of Second Born Royals.” He has been a film student at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, continuing his education alongside his acting commitments. His father, Frederick, passed away from lupus when Niles was 12, inspiring his collaboration with Lupus LA to raise awareness.
