skylarstin Skylar Astin

Born: September 23, 1987 in New York City, New York, USA

I first got into acting when I was 14, coming back from a junior high school basketball game. My mom picked me up and she had been mentioning, prior to that, this community production of ‘Godspell’, a couple towns over. I was reluctant, at first, and she bribed me with some great dinner that was in that town, neighboring the theater.

The 1990s, in New York at least, were all about who could have the baggiest pants, and I definitely got swept up in that fad. Luckily, it didn’t last long – but I’ve made sure that my pants fit ever since.
