Dan Byrd was born on November 30, 1985, in Marietta, Georgia. He has two siblings, Ryan Byrd and Molly Byrd. Known for being private about his personal affairs, Byrd avoids media attention and maintains a low public profile. Before achieving widespread recognition, he began his acting career with appearances in television dramas such as Judging Amy and Touched by an Angel.
Byrd began acting at a young age, making his film debut in 1999’s The First of May, where he starred alongside Hollywood legends Mickey Rooney and Julie Harris. Throughout the early 2000s, he continued to build his resume with roles in various TV series and films, gradually establishing a reputation for his compelling screen presence.
Dan Byrd’s breakthrough role came in 2004 when he co-starred with Hilary Duff in the teen romantic comedy A Cinderella Story. His performance brought him greater visibility, leading to more significant roles in both film and television.
In 2006, Byrd played a central role in the horror remake The Hills Have Eyes, directed by Alexandre Aja and based on the 1977 film by Wes Craven. The same year, he appeared in Lonely Hearts alongside John Travolta. The film portrayed the true story of serial killers Martha Beck and Raymond Fernandez.
Although Byrd was initially cast in a planned remake of Revenge of the Nerds, the project was ultimately canceled. He later joined the cast of the sitcom Aliens in America, which aired for one season between 2007 and 2008. In 2008, entertainment news sources like Entertainment Weekly reported Byrd’s guest appearance in the acclaimed Sci-Fi series Heroes; however, he did not play the character Sylar — that role was portrayed by Zachary Quinto.
In 2010, Byrd delivered notable performances in two major productions. He played Brandon, a gay teenager and supportive friend to Emma Stone’s character, in the hit comedy Easy A. That same year, he starred in the independent drama Norman, portraying a high school student who pretends to have cancer. His layered performance in the latter film received critical praise.
Byrd also gained recognition for his role as Travis Cobb, the son of Courteney Cox's character, in the television comedy series Cougar Town, which aired from 2009 to 2015. His television work strengthened his versatility across genres including comedy and drama.
Over the course of his career, Dan Byrd has received several awards and nominations. In 2000, he won Best Child Actor at the Burbank International Children's Film Festival. Later, in 2010, he won Best Actor at the Rhode Island International Film Festival for his role in Norman.
He has also been nominated for multiple Young Artist Awards, including Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series and Best Performance in a TV Movie in 2001 and 2005, respectively.
Dan Byrd is known for being highly private and maintains minimal presence on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter. As of recent estimates, his net worth is around $12 million, largely attributed to performances in successful projects like Easy A, Norman, and the television series Cougar Town.
