A native of Charlotte, North Carolina, Reed began acting at the age of five in community plays with Porch Productions, Inc and through his school and church. In 2015, his starring role as Donkey in a North Carolina Children’s Theater summer camp production of “Shrek Jr.” sparked a more serious desire and love for acting. In 2017, he decided to give acting a real shot and auditioned for Disney’s “The Lion King” musical. He landed the role as Young Simba and toured with their North American Rafiki Company. He performed in 13 cities for 10 months and appeared in four out of eight shows each week. While on tour, Reed was asked to join the award-winning musical on Broadway, where he performed as Young Simba for three more months before he landed his series regular role on “Just Roll With It.”
