Career
At the age of four, Price entered the modeling industry, and has since worked for companies which include Polo Ralph Lauren, Gap, Sean John, H&M, Nike, Cole Haan, Tommy Hilfiger, and Macy's. Price also appeared on the cover of the New York Times Magazine and with Nelly on a nationwide campaign for Reebok.[2]
Price has appeared in television shows such as 'About a boy' (NBC) where he portrayed “Gus”, a younger Version of David Walton, and 'Your Family or mine' (TBS), where he played the role of "Colin" alongside Richard Dreyfuss and JoBeth Williams. He was also a series regular in a musical series entitled 'Side Effects' for the E! network and Awsomeness TV from the creative minds of 'One Tree Hill' and 'Smallville' creators Brian Robbins & Joe Davola. He has had supporting roles in feature films such as the Warner Bros. film “The Clique” where he starred alongside Bridgit Mendler and Vanessa Marano as "Chris Abeley". The project was directed by Michael Lembeck and executive produced by Tyra Banks, Leslie Morgenstein and Bob Levy, and was based on the bestselling novel by Lisi Harrison, 'One Fall', produced by Dean Silvers (Spanking the Monkey, Flirting with Disaster), 'The Sound of Magic', and 'The Naked Brothers Band' (Nickelodeon) as the British Rocker, "Bobby Love". Price recently played a lead role in the feature film '200 Hours' from the executive producers of Final Destination. The film chronicles a group of graduate students who conduct a sleep deprivation study in the 1980’s that results in unintended consequences for one of its test subjects. After their department is shut down, the team moves forward in secret - only this time using themselves as the subjects. This thriller is set to be released in 2018. Price recently created, directed, produced and narrated a feature documentary 'On Thin Ice' that partially chronicles the life of his great-grandfather, a world-class speed-skater whose dreams of competing in the Olympics were shattered by anti-semitism and socio-political bias. The film calls attention to athletes who have struggled for acceptance not only in sport, but in society. It highlights their collective fight for fairness and examines the parallels between playing the game on the field and making sociopolitical progress off the field. It features Evander Holyfield, Allyson Felix, Apolo Ohno, Greg Louganis, Robbie Rogers, Michael Sam and Aimee Mullins—just to name a few. Director Bryan Singer (Usual Suspects, X-Men) and producer Michael Skolnik are also involved in the project. Price is currently in development on another project where he’ll also serve as creator/director/producer.
