As a youngster, he started partaking in the house of prayer plays. A short time later, when he was in eighth grade, he enrolled in the performance center of his school and started a passion for the acting profession. He graduated from Centennial High School in Boise, Idaho, in 1998. Even before graduating, he imagined moving to Los Angeles and thought of ways to earn money to make his big move. After graduating, he moved to LA with his mother in his '82 Toyota Corolla, with the $6,000 he had saved.

He continued appearing in commercials and two music videos for Korn's tune "Careless" and the Everlast song 'White Trash Beautiful'.

In 2008, he got an amazing part when he was given a role as Jesse Pinkman on the AMC show 'Breaking Bad'. In the wake of giving it a shot, he had his doubts about whether he would get the part and whether the show would go on air. His character was originally written to die in the first season but his performance forced the creators to keep him on the show.
