Ross Fleming Butler was born in Singapore & was raised in the Northern Virginia/Washington D.C. area. He attended Ohio State University studying biomolecular & chemical engineering but decided to drop out after 1 year after discovering he had no passion or interest in that field of study. He moved to L.A. in 2010 & found his love for acting after his friend bought him his first acting class for his 21st birthday. Having seen the vast under representation of Asian-American talent in film & TV as well as the misrepresentation of Asian-American males throughout his life, he decided he would make it his goal to change stereotypes &fight for inclusion in Hollywood.
