Early life
editCrovetti was born on March 12, 2008, in California,[1] to film producer and writer Bradley Cramp and actress Denise Crovetti.[2][3] He has an elder sister, Isabella Crovetti, and a twin brother Nicholas, both of whom have pursued acting careers.[2] Prior to discovering his passion for performance, Crovetti was trained in competitive gymnastics,[3] and he remained on the gymnastics team after he began acting.[4] Crovetti and his brother became interested in acting after watching their sister in her first series regular role in The Neighbors on set,[4][5] and they had "begged [their] mom for several years" before she allowed them to start auditioning.[3]
Career
editCrovetti's early roles included Dylan#2 in the sitcom Black-ish in 2017 and Tim in the 2018 French-American drama film Anywhere with You.[2] He received his breakout role with the black comedy drama series Big Little Lies,[3] in which he and his twin brother Nicholas starred as Josh and Max Wright, the sons of Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgård's characters.[6] Crovetti continued to act alongside his brother, appearing as one of the sons living with their single mother, played by Elizabeth Mitchell, in the 2021 horror film Witch Hunt.[7] He also landed a recurring role as Ryan Broderick in the crime anthology series Dirty John, playing the son of a divorced couple, portrayed by Amanda Peet and Christian Slater, who are dealing with family turmoil.[3]
Starting in 2020, Crovetti took on the role of Ryan Butcher, the son of superhero Homelander played by Antony Starr, in the satirical superhero series The Boys.[4] He began as a series regular in season 2 and was later promoted to a main role in season 4.[8][9] Crovetti auditioned before the show's first season aired, knowing only that his role was to play Homelander's son, and his audition tape was solely based on his own imagination of the show's tone, after which he was cast in the role about a month later.[5][10] He described his character's arc as initially oscillating between choosing Homelander or Butcher as a father figure, but by the third-season finale, he is leaning more towards Homelander and the character "might not be so good" onwards.[11] Crovetti received a nomination for Best Performance by a Younger Actor in a Television Series in the 52nd Saturn Awards for the role.[12] In 2022, Crovetti landed a lead role in the psychological horror film Goodnight Mommy, starring alongside his brother and Naomi Watts,[13][14] and portrayed the younger version of Sierra Six, a CIA mercenary played by Ryan Gosling, in the action thriller film The Gray Man.[15] He lent his voice to the recurring character Harry Haphazard in the animated series Firebuds since the same year.[16] In 2023, Crovetti starred in the horror thriller film Oracle,[17] and portrayed the younger version of Boy, the lead and titular character played by Bill Skarsgård, in the action comedy film Boy Kills World.[18]
