Trevor Trout was born in Coco Beach, Florida but he never stayed in one
place for very long. His biological parents divorced before he was a
year old, he met his biological father briefly for the first time when
he was 5 years old and they wouldn't reconnect again until Trevor was
in his late teens. His mother moved them around central Florida before
finally ending up in Cherokee, North Carolina on the Cherokee Indian
Reservation when he was nine. Life on the reservation wasn't easy but he made friends that would last a lifetime. When he was 16 he left the
reservation on his own.
For four years Trevor moved around to five states and attended five different high schools. He finally settled in Ohio where he lived with relatives, but that too was short lived. During his senior year Trevor found himself homeless, couch hoping, and sleeping in his car. He's best friend at the time, Austin Russell, brought him home and The Russell's took him in. Trevor graduated high school with a 3.8 G.P.A. and was on the varsity sports teams. He applied to only one college deciding that if he got in he'd pursue his lifelong dream of performing, if not he'd enlist.
When Trevor received word that he was accepted to The American Musical and Dramatic Academy he packed his car and headed to California. His difficult childhood served him well in his training; he easily made friends and already had a thick skin. You could say he was bred to be part of the entertainment industry.
After graduation he landed several roles on TV including national commercials, roles on Comedy Central's Mind of Mencia, and FX's hit show Justified. He stared in the first ever Internet film, Vlog, and worked on set with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts in Larry Crowne.
When he wasn't on TV or shooting films Trevor stared in and directed a sketch comedy show. His show went on to be voted the best theater show in L.A in 2012. 2012 was a banner year for the young performer, not only did his show go to number one, he also entered the world of stand-up comedy and began writing, producing, and directing films and music videos under his own company Big Fish Entertainment.
Recently Trevor Trout's feature length documentary: The Last Cherokee Language Symposium, is helping to shine a light on the fight to save and perpetuate the Cherokee Language into the future.
