Background

He was born and raised in Lima, Ohio, as a Christian and completed his early education there. Little Buchanan had always demonstrated his love for performing arts and so, when the family relocated to Los Angeles, California in 2007, one of the first things his parents did was to enroll him in the professional acting training institute, EDGE Performing Arts Center and Huckleberry Friends Production, to harness his acting talents.The 12-year-old Buchanan auditioned for the T.V. show “Modern Family” in 2010 and got a child role.

Nevertheless, he continues to make waves in the entertainment industry and has just been recently announced to star in “She’s All That,” a sequel to the romantic Netflix movie “He’s All That,” in which he had also starred in.
