About Me!
Devin grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 20 to pursue his dream of acting. Little did he know he'd also fall in love with writing, directing, and improvising. Including live performance as well as film and television. Devin has appeared as an actor in the films "Chasing Mavericks" starring Gerard Butler for FOX 2000 Pictures; "The Cheerleader Murders" for Lifetime; and "Disaster Movie" for Lionsgate. He has appeared on television in "Wisdom of the Crowd,"Â "Criminal Minds," and "CSI" for CBS; "Better Things" and "The League" for FX; "Jane the Virgin" for THE CW; and "The 4 to 9ers" for HULU, directed by James Widdoes. He has screen tested for network television pilots four times.
Devin also wrote and directed the feature film "Richard Peter Johnson" available now on Amazon, iTunes, and VUDU. He has written and directed multiple short films and comedy sketches. Most of which are available below!
