I wanted to profile Caspian Diament (not Diamant) because of his unusual, rather scary eyes, and his odd name -- was he named after the Caspian Sea, which would make him Russian, or maybe Persian?
No, he's American, born in Los Angeles, son of Debra Diament, former lead singer for The Januaries. She is of Danish ancestry.
Ok, then, Prince Caspian in the Chronicles of Narnia?
Caspian was born in 2006, and began acting in 2012, with roles in Faerie Tales and Dragons, Toy Shop, and Peter Pan, a lot of print ads (for "straight" jeans, har har), and some tv commercials.
He begins his on-screen career in 2013, playing a variety of kids. According to the demo reels on his resume:
Scared of a monster in the closet
An obnoxious gamer kid
Responding to a friend who has killed someone.
A supportive friend offering comfort
A touching father-son momentAngrily confronting his parents
And a confident young prince in a school play.
He doesn't mention which of his 13 IMDB credits correspond to each performance, but I surmise that the Confident Young Prince is from an episode This is Us (2016-22), about the problems of three adult siblings. Tess, the daughter of Randall (Sterling J. Brown, left) is cast as Snow White in the school play. She is black. The white parents laugh, leading to a discussion of racism.
Later the teenage Tess comes out as gay, and starts dating the nonbinary Alex.
A lesbian co-star? Caspian is gay-adjacent, anyway.
But there are also gay references. In 2018, Caspian posts a video of his hip-hop class, with the taglines "Cute Boy. Gay. Artist."
