Born and raised in the vibrant city of Scottsdale, Arizona, and later in the charming town of Overland Park, Kansas, Andrew's early life was marked by a sense of constant change, as he relocated a staggering 22 times, with 12 of those moves taking place before he even graduated from high school.
This tumultuous upbringing had a profound impact on Andrew, shaping his perspective and fostering a sense of resilience that would serve him well in his future endeavors. And, as if to further solidify his reputation as a true performer, Andrew took to the stage at his second-grade talent show, belting out a rousing rendition of "Pacman Fever" in character as the iconic video game hero.
Andrew's foray into the world of show business was further encouraged by his older brother, Timothy Ralston, who not only recognized his sibling's natural talent but also saw fit to cast him in his own super 8 films. This early exposure to the art of filmmaking would lay the groundwork for Andrew's future pursuits in the fine arts, although he would initially pursue a degree in fine arts before ultimately switching to theatre.
