Tristan Riggs, a talented young actor, began showcasing his natural abilities at the tender age of seven. Born in St. Louis and raised in Austin, Texas, he quickly gained recognition as the "one to watch" on television and the big screen. His fearlessness and athleticism allowed him to take on his own stunts, which he thoroughly enjoys.
As the younger brother of actress Charlotte Delaney Riggs, Tristan's passion for acting was nurtured from a young age. He made his television debut on ABC's General Hospital, playing the role of Aiden Webber. His impressive range has also led to appearances on various platforms, including network television, streaming services such as Hulu, Paramount+, AppleTV+, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more.
Tristan's breakout role in the horror film, The Seventh Day, marked the beginning of his streak in the horror genre. His innocence and vulnerability on-screen, coupled with his ability to be terrifying, have made him a standout in the industry. The film, also starring Guy Pearce, Keith David, and Stephen Lang, is available on Netflix, with Tristan performing most of his own stunts.
Prior to his lead role in The Seventh Day, Tristan co-starred in feature films such as Scare Package, Blood Fest, and Thunder Road. He has also appeared in television shows like AMC's The Son, HBO's The Leftovers, National Geographic's The Long Road Home, and Alita: Battle Angel. His extensive resume also includes national commercials, music videos, and print modeling.
When he's not scaring audiences on-screen, Tristan enjoys volunteering at a local farm, tending to chickens, longhorns, and donkeys. He is an animal lover and has three pets of his own: two rescued dogs, Aster and Levi, and a lizard named Dorito. Tristan is also an avid skateboarder and surfer, and is a certified open water scuba diver.
In addition to his love for adventure, Tristan is a natural-born leader, having achieved the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout at the young age of 13. He is a member of the acapella group Musicale and is also a skilled musician, playing the guitar, cello, and singing. Tristan's love for travel has taken him to Japan, South Korea, Spain, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, England, and his favorite city, Prague. Above all, Tristan is a curious and fearless individual who is always eager to try new things.
