Grayson Thorne Kilpatrick embarked on his acting career through small student and independent films across the Southeast. Hailing from Huntsville, Alabama, he is the son of Sherry Lowery, an engineer for the Space Force, and Charles Kilpatrick, an engineer at NASA. Although his mother encouraged him to pursue acting from an early age, Grayson didn't fully embrace it until a pivotal moment in his childhood prompted his parents to enroll him in Child Play Therapy at the age of three, helping him cope with a traumatic home invasion.
In the spring of 2013, Grayson had a chance encounter with Grayson Russell, known for "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," while he was in town filming "Space Warriors." Inspired by this experience, Grayson volunteered as an extra on the film and discovered his passion for acting. That same year, he began taking classes at "Hollywood Huntsville" and made his screen debut in the feature film "Campin Buddies," where he worked alongside notable figures such as Tom Lester, Ray Stevens, Don Most, and Victoria Jackson.
Since then, Grayson has built a diverse portfolio, appearing in numerous student, independent, and feature films, as well as television shows like "Documentary Now!," "Chicken Girls: The Movie," "This Isn't Working," "Daddy's Home," Cinemax's "Outcast," Netflix's "Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later," "Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell," "Vikes," "American Horror Story," "To Tell the Truth," and FX's "Dave," among others.
In addition to acting, Grayson has a strong interest in writing and directing. In 2017, he wrote his first SAG short film, "John Foley: Motivationally Speaking," as a tribute to his favorite actor, Chris Farley. For this skit, he won Best Actor at the Young Artist Awards, portraying John Foley, the son of Matt Foley. A member of SAG-AFTRA since 2016, Grayson also passed the California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE) in 2020, achieving legal adult status at 18. He divides his time between Los Angeles, CA, and Huntsville, AL, Atlanta, Ga where he shares his home with two dogs, a Teacup Pomeranian named Cinnamon Grace and another dog named Henry, as well as a cat named Luna.
Musically talented, Grayson plays the guitar, ukulele, flute, oboe, and harmonica. He is also a passionate Rubik's Cube collector, boasting over 100 cubes of various shapes and sizes, which he often brings to set. His hobbies include archery, solving Rubik's Cubes, and cheering for the Alabama Crimson Tide in college football. Grayson has a strong passion for cars, having purchased his very first vehicle, a 2007 Monte Carlo SS.
2024 has proven to be a remarkable year for Grayson, as he secured roles in two television series: Netflix's second season of "Monster: The Menendez Brothers" and STARZ's "The Hunting Wives," along with a feature film produced by JJ Abrams titled "Flowervale."
Grayson is currently represented by Luber Roklin Entertainment in Los Angeles and People Store Talent Agency in Atlanta, Georgia.
