His big break came in 2011, when he played Michael in the film Just Go with It,[7] for which he received a Young Artist Award nomination. He was later cast as Mason Warner on Private Practice, and was then upped to series regular on the show.[8] After the series was cancelled, he joined a TV pilot called Back in the Game from 20th Century Fox TV.[9] It was picked to series.[10] The show was canceled in November 2013 [11]
