This photo on the teen idol site drew my interest. Dude is either gay or pretending.
There are lots more of the two guys kissing, plus standard buddies hugging, and no icky girls. Here he poses with "I keep my private life a secret, but I'm dating a dude" Pedro Pascal.
He's Callan Farris, best known for the Disney Channel teencom Gabby Duran and the Unsittables (2019-21). 13 year old Gabby soon learns that they are "unsittable" because they are alien children hiding out as humans.
Callan plays Jeremy, a shapeless blob who is next in line for the throne of Gor-Monia, on Earth to hide from would-be assassins. Most of his plots involve misunderstanding human customs, or having his alien powers accidentally cause disasters.
The episode synopses and fan wikis don't mention any heterosexual interests. But Jeremy considers Gabby's friend Wesley (Maxwell Acee Donovan, "The Human Erection" on That 90s Show), his "sister" (he doesn't quite understand gendered nouns). And he is "fond of" Julius (Kheon Clarke), a waiter at the teen hangout. Sounds like a lot of gay subtext going on.
Callan was born in Los Angeles in 2007. No other information about his childhood is available, but from his last name ("warrior" in Arabic) and some of his early roles -- Syrian Boy, Kadir Siddiqui, Rafi Elshami -- I'm guessing that he's Arab-American. He started his career in commercials, and moved into television playing "Very Sweet Kid" on a 2016 episode of Dr. Ken.
On the IMDB, Callan lists his "most famous" works as Gabby; Kings (2017), about a family in South Central during the 1990s L.A. riots; a 2018 episode of Grey's Anatomy where Jackson (Jesse Williams, left) treats a boy with cancerous tumors on his scapulae (shoulder blades); and the preschooler series Rocketeer (2019-20)
In a 2018 episode of The Conners, gay kid Mark goes to the school Halloween party as iconic painter Frida Kahlo, and is turned away for anti-drag reasons. Callan plays the neighbor boy Kazim.
In a 2019 episode of Fuller House: Spencer (Kallan) appears in a segment of Wake Up, San Francisco, showing viewers how to up-cycle objects that they would ordinarily throw away, like turning wine bottles into flower vases. He has a love-hate relationship with Max Fuller (Elias Harger, left).
More after the break. Caution: Explicit
