Singapore Ross Butler is an American actor known for his roles in popular television series and films, having transitioned from studying engineering to a successful acting career.
Ross Butler featured in Old Spice's 'Finer Things' campaign, promoting their 'Men Have Skin Too' product line. This campaign involved collaboration in a commercial spot.
Alexandra Daddario and Ross Butler were named Ambassadors for the 28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Their role involves representing SAG at the event.
Ross Fleming Butler was born in Singapore on May 17, 1990, and spent his early childhood in Jakarta, Indonesia, before moving to the United States at age four. He was raised by his mother in Fairfax, Virginia. His educational path initially led him to Ohio State University, where he pursued biomolecular and chemical engineering. After one year, he realized this field was not his passion and dropped out. He subsequently returned to Virginia, enrolled in courses at a community college, and at the age of 20, relocated to Los Angeles, California.
His acting career began after a friend gifted him an acting class for his 21st birthday. He gained early experience through student films and independent projects before securing a recurring role as Brett Willis in the Disney Channel series *K.C. Undercover*. This role marked a significant turning point, leading to further work in Disney Channel films like *Teen Beach 2* and *Perfect High*. Butler’s commitment to challenging stereotypes and advocating for Asian-American representation in Hollywood has been a consistent aspect of his career. His work demonstrates a deliberate choice to engage in projects that contribute to a more inclusive industry.
Butler’s profile rose significantly with his portrayal of Zach Dempsey in the Netflix series *13 Reasons Why*, a role he held for 49 episodes from 2017 to 2020. During this period, he also played Reggie Mantle in the first season of The CW’s *Riverdale* in 2017, later reprising the role in the 100th episode in 2021. He joined the DC Extended Universe as Super Hero Eugene Choi in *Shazam!* (2019) and *Shazam! Fury of the Gods* (2023). Other notable film roles include Trevor Pike in *To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You* (2020) and *To All the Boys: Always and Forever* (2021), and the voice of Spine Chief in *Raya and the Last Dragon* (2021). His recent work includes the role of Kayden Williams in *Perfect Addiction* (2023) and Rick Woo in *Love in Taipei* (2023), where he also served as an executive producer. Upcoming projects include *Worth the Wait* (2025), *Zipline* (post-production), and *Shiver* (post-production).
