Forrest Landis, a talented individual, was born in Palm Beach, Florida, in August 1994, and later raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. His journey in the entertainment industry began at the tender age of four when he was discovered by a talent scout in Chicago.
By the age of five, Forrest was already making a name for himself in the modeling world, working with prestigious clients such as Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, and Target in New York City. His impressive portfolio continued to grow, with him landing commercials for prominent brands like McDonald's, Kraft, General Mills Cereal, MasterCard, and Spongebob Squarepants by the age of six.
In 2003, Forrest's family made the bold decision to relocate from Indianapolis to Los Angeles, allowing him to focus on auditions and pursue his passion for acting. It wasn't long before his hard work paid off, as he landed the role of Mark Baker in the 20th Century Fox family blockbuster Cheaper by the Dozen, starring Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt.
Forrest's breakthrough performance in Cheaper by the Dozen led to opportunities to work alongside A-list talent, including Jodie Foster in Flightplan and Kate Hudson in The Skeleton Key. In 2005, he reprised his role as Mark Baker in Cheaper by the Dozen 2, again collaborating with Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt, and Eugene Levy.
The young actor's impressive filmography continued to grow, with him landing his first leading role in Doubting Thomas, alongside AnnaSophia Robb, Lea Thompson, D.L. Hughley, and Rider Strong. In addition to his extensive film career, Forrest has also made guest appearances on popular TV shows such as ER and the critically acclaimed Showtime series Weeds.
Today, Forrest resides in Los Angeles, where he balances his acting career with his education. When he's not working or in school, he enjoys spending time with friends, indulging in his passion for skateboarding.
