Daren Kagasoff, born Daren Maxwell Kagasoff, was born on September 16, 1987, in Encino, California. He is the second of three children born to Elise Kagasoff, a designer, and Barry Kagasoff, a diamond merchant. Daren has two siblings named Justin and Natalie. He is of Russian-Jewish descent and was raised in a supportive family environment in the Los Angeles area.
Daren attended Montclair Preparatory High School in Van Nuys, California, where he was an active member of the school's baseball team. His passion for sports was evident during these formative years.
After graduating from high school, he enrolled at San Francisco State University. However, while in college, he decided to pursue a career in acting and eventually moved back to Los Angeles to begin formal training and auditioning for roles.
His first significant opportunity came with a lead role in a local theater production of Suburbia, although critical reception to his performance was mixed. Determined to improve, Daren took professional acting classes and continued auditioning.
His persistence paid off when producer Brenda Hampton cast him as Ricky Underwood in the ABC Family drama series The Secret Life of the American Teenager. The show, which ran from 2008 to 2013, proved to be a breakthrough for Daren, garnering him widespread recognition and critical acclaim.
Following his success on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Daren was cast as Alex in the FOX pilot Delirium, based on the novel by Lauren Oliver. Unfortunately, the series was not picked up.
In 2014, he played Trevor in the supernatural horror film Ouija, directed by Stiles White and co-written by White and Juliet Snowden. That same year, he joined FOX's comedy-drama series Red Band Society, portraying Hunter Cole, Kara’s love interest. Despite its compelling premise, the show lasted only one season.
He also made appearances in other TV shows such as Blue (2015), where he played a character named Daren, and Stalker (2014), where he portrayed Eric Bates.
Throughout his career, Daren Kagasoff has earned several Teen Choice Award nominations. Most nominations were for his role in The Secret Life of the American Teenager, in categories such as Choice Summer TV Star: Male, Choice TV Actor, and Choice TV Breakout Star: Male. In 2009, he won the award for Choice Summer TV Star: Male.
As of the latest public reports, Daren Kagasoff is not married and does not have children. Rumors once circulated about a romantic relationship with his co-star Shailene Woodley, particularly after a 2015 Daily Mail UK article that hinted at Woodley expressing admiration for him. However, the relationship was never confirmed by either party.
Daren maintains a presence on social media platforms such as Twitter and Tumblr, engaging with fans and sharing personal interests. He has spoken about his close friendship with Rob Kardashian and mentioned his enjoyment of watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians, particularly because of Rob.
A fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, Daren has expressed an interest in fashion, naming American Rag as his favorite clothing store. In interviews, he has cited playing golf as a favorite hobby and jokingly named mashed potatoes among his favorite foods.
When discussing his ideal partner, Daren has said he values intelligence and the ability to maintain a steady conversation, indicating his preference for depth and meaningful connections.
