Tristan Byon

Born on May 11th in Anaheim, California. Tristan is the youngest of three kids. He started acting, hoping to meet Kobe Bryant, his favorite basketball player. During a Lakers game, he wondered why he couldn’t go and meet Kobe when others at the courtside were talking to him. He soon learned that those people were famous on television and in films. This is when he decided he wanted to be on television and in the movies. After his first booking and working on a set, he fell in love with acting and has been having a blast since.

Tristan’s acting career began when he booked a role on the long-running series, “Two and A Half Men.” He followed that with a role on “Grandfathered” opposite John Stamos. In 2017, he had a very successful year working on a variety of TV shows such as, “Teachers”, “Lady Dynamite”, “Criminal Minds”, and “Grey’s Anatomy”. In 2018, he booked the role of Theo on ABC’s drama series “A Million Little Things”, playing the son of Grace Park and David Giuntoli. Before this series began filming, Tristan filmed an independent feature, “The Mortuary Collection.”

Tristan enjoys gaming and hanging out with family and friends during his spare time. His hobbies include sports, especially basketball, where he plays competitively on a club team. He also loves to play the guitar and ukulele, sing, and dance.
