On the big screen, you may remember, the actor played Ty Swindle in a Bad Mom’s Christmas in 2017. He also starred in the American sports drama The Challenger in 2015. The star’s other movie appearances include roles in Red Canyon (2008), Spring Breakdown (2009), A Way with Murder (2009), Scorpio Men on Prozac (2010), Another Time (2018) and Little (2019).
