Dash & Lily's Austin Abrams Has Had So Many Recognizable Roles

If Austin Abrams wasn't on your radar before Dash & Lily [1], then you've been missing out. The 24-year-old actor began his onscreen career in 2011 in the Cuba Gooding Jr. sci-fi thriller Ticking Clock — but it wasn't until Abrams landed a recurring role on The Walking Dead [2] in 2015 that his career took off. He appeared in seasons five and six of the AMC series as fellow survivor-turned-villain Ron Anderson. Also in 2015, Abrams played the role of Q's friend Ben Starling in the big-screen adaptation of the John Green novel Paper Towns.

After his run on The Walking Dead, Abrams took on a few more movie roles, including prominent parts in All Summers End (which also starred Tye Sheridan and Kaitlyn Dever), Brad's Status (which also starred Ben Stiller [4]), Puzzle, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Though he appeared in a few episodes of SMILF and The Americans, Abrams didn't get his next big recurring TV role until 2019, when he took on the role of Kat's love interest Ethan Lewis [5] in the first season of HBO's Euphoria [6].

Not long after, Abrams made his first appearance in season four of NBC's This Is Us as teenage Kate's horrible love interest Marc [7], and unfortunately for This Is Us fans, it seems we haven't seen the last of his character yet [8]. In 2020, Abrams took on two of his biggest parts yet: Henry Page in the movie Chemical Hearts [9] (which also starred Lili Reinhart) and Dash in the Netflix series Dash & Lily (which also starred Midori Francis). Coming up, Abrams is set to star alongside his Paper Towns costar Nat Wolff in Youngest, a film that'll serve as Wolff's directorial debut.
