Cameron Monaghan Bio
Cameron Monaghan was born on August 16, 1993, in Santa Monica, California. Shortly after his birth, he relocated to Boca Raton Florida with his single mother, Diane Monaghan, who was also an insurance claims specialist.
It was here that the 24-years-old actor was raised. Even as he was little, his mother began sending his pictures to advertising firms and that was how he got to appear on his first advert at the age of three. By the time he was five, he had already had his face on his first catalog and by 7, he got his first regional commercial.
For his education, Cameron attended the Addison Mizner Elementary School. However, because his mom had seen the potentials in him and wanted to develop it, she allowed him to appear on Little Palm Children’s Theatre’s Stuart little and Winnie-the-Pooh productions. He also appeared on The Pumpkin King which was a theatrical adaptation of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
However, his appearance on Shameless where he played the role of Ian Gallagher a teenage gay, was what made him popular, he actually started a long time before then.
He had even started acting before he was 9, but that was when he got serious attention to himself with a role on ABC television’s adaptation of The Music Man as Winthrop Paroo.
“I liked the feeling of being onstage,” was what he said when he was done, while Jeff Bleckner who was the director and executive producer stated that he was looking for someone with all the appeals and the moment he saw the boy, he knew that was it.
From then on, the actor has kept up the pace with his acting career. His most popular apart from that Shameless is Gotham.
