Biography

Connor William Jessup, born in Toronto, Canada, is a versatile actor and filmmaker. He began his acting career at the age of eleven, gaining recognition for his roles as Ben Mason in the sci-fi series 'Falling Skies' (2011) and Taylor Blaine in the drama 'American Crime' (2015). Jessup is also widely known for his leading role as Tyler Locke in the Netflix fantasy series 'Locke & Key' (2020-2022), where he starred in all three seasons. His directing career began in 2014 with the short film 'Little Coffins', which is now considered a lost media. He went on to direct several other shorts, including 'Boy' (2015), 'Lira's Forest' (2017), 'The Constant' (2018), and the documentary 'A.W. A Portrait of Apichatpong Weerasethakul' (2018).

In addition to his work in film and television, Jessup is an advocate for queer causes and publicly came out as gay in June 2019 during Pride Month.
