Anthony Pyatt, star of Will Trent (2023), recently appeared as Hades in Disney’s Descendants: The Rise of Red. He looked so young in it that they were left speechless upon learning he was actually 31 years old.
In Disney’s fourth installment of the Descendants movie franchise, Anthony Pyatt plays the teenage Hades with the flaming blue-haired baddie.
While the character design and looks of Hades were impressive enough on their own, it’s pretty amazing that Anthony Pyatt easily passed as someone in their early 20s age.
Moreover, most of his cast members in the musical/comedy are relatively young. Specifically, his co-stars, Malia Baker, Ruby Rose Turner, and Kylie Cantrall, are just 17, 18, and 19 years old, respectively.
So, it makes more sense that many thought Anthony Pyatt was also relatively younger, like his castmates.
Anthony Pyatt Jr debuted as a supporting lead in When I’m with You in 2015 at the age of 22!
Anthony Pyatt Jr was born on July 6, 1993, in Orlando, Florida, USA, to his parents, Anthony Pyatt Sr. and mother, Mrs. Pyatt.
The up-and-coming actor, who graduated from Lake Howell High in Winter Park, revealed that he had a passion for TV and film since he was a kid. This is pretty evident just from one look at his resume, which is provided by 22Talent Co., as it features a long list of film/television credits along with theatre performances.
Furthermore, Anthony Pyatt has taken various professional training classes at the Circle in the Square Theatre School in New York City and ClassAct Studios in Orlando.
Some of his notable theatre works are at the Orlando Fringe Festival, the Garden Theatre, Mad Cow Theatre, and Orlando Repertory Theatre. For his exceptional theatre performance, Orlando Sentinel’s annual Critic’s Picks honored Anthony Pyatt twice.
Meanwhile, Anthony Pyatt Jr made his big-screen debut as Evan Costa in the movie When I’m with You in 2015 at the age of 22, as per IMDb. Since then, he has appeared in the movie Dear Stranger, the short film Swaying, and the TV series The Right Stuff and Will Trent.
But his biggest breakthrough role was as teen Hades in Descendants: The Rise of Red, which came out on July 12, 2024.
Having that said, talking to Orlando Sentinel, Anthony Pyatt Jr says, “I’m so much more interested in being a working actor rather than being famous.” Nonetheless, he is on his way to prominence after making it into Disney’s movie franchise Descendant.
Now, talking about his personal life, not much information is available online. However, according to his Instagram profile, Anthony Pyatt has been dating his girlfriend, Allie Sawicki, since 2021.
