Brent Kinsman
- Actor
Brent Kinsman is a talented actor, who along with his twin brother Shane Kinsman,
has made quite a mark in the entertainment industry.
His remarkable story as an actor began when he was "discovered" by a talent agent while attending a Los Angeles Dodger game at the age of 4. With no plans of becoming an actor at the time, he and his twin brother Shane were encouraged to begin auditioning as the agent saw great potential. The family decided to give it a go and the Kinsman twins went on their first audition and landed their first job - a national Tylenol commercial.
Shortly thereafter, he booked his early breakthrough role as a child actor in the 2003 blockbuster feature film family comedy Cheaper By The Dozen and the 2005 sequel Cheaper By the Dozen 2, with he and his brother Shane portraying rambunctious twins "Kyle and Nigel Baker," opposite Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt. He also starred, along with Shane, in the first four seasons of the Emmy Award-winning hit ABC TV comedy-drama series Desperate Housewives as "Porter and Preston Scavo," the twin sons of "Lynnette Scavo" (Felicity Huffman) from 2004 - 2008.
In 2008, the twins decided they wanted to take a break from their busy career in acting to focus on family and their education. With a love of sports, Brent excelled in school, as well as football and baseball, graduating from Maranatha High School in Pasadena, CA in 2016. He then enrolled at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, earning a degree in Agricultural Science, graduating in 2020.
Currently, Brent and his brother Shane, are excited to continue their careers in acting and are especially passionate about pursuing projects that exemplify authentic wholesome family values.
In his free time, Brent enjoys working out including lifting weights, training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and yoga. He leads an active lifestyle and loves spending time outdoors. Other interests include playing guitar, fly fishing, snowboarding and motocross.
