Trent Olsen was born on May 6, 1984, in Sherman Oaks, California, USA, to parents Jarnette Jones and David Olsen. He is the older brother of Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, the well-known twin actresses and fashion designers. Trent has several siblings, all of whom are involved in the entertainment industry, including his younger sister Elizabeth Olsen and half-brother Jake Olsen. His half-sister Courtney Olsen is the only sibling who is not an actor.
Trent began acting at a young age. At just seven years old, he was selected for a role in the television series "Tales from the Crypt," although he did not pursue the opportunity further due to a lack of parental support at the time. He later appeared in several of his younger sisters’ video productions during the 1990s, such as "You’re Invited to Mary-Kate & Ashley's Sleepover Party," among others. He also had minor credits in projects like "Comedy Corner" and "Old School" before stepping away from acting entirely by the age of 12.
Trent attended the University of Southern California (USC), where he engaged in a variety of extracurricular activities. While at USC, he co-hosted a movie review show with his friend Rabol and participated in university performances, including a rendition of "The Vagina Monologues." He was also recognized on campus for his charismatic presence, earning the "Mr. Tommy" award during his time there.
Although he did not achieve the same level of fame as his sisters, Trent Olsen has carved out a creative path of his own. He is currently a writer with Storm King Productions, a company founded by filmmaker Sandy King. He co-wrote the comic book series "Asylum," which has gained popularity among fans of the genre. His passion for storytelling, particularly in comic book format, reflects his long-standing interest in both writing and gaming.
