Cyrus Arnold

Born on January 2, 2003, in Burbank, California, Cyrus Arnold is an American actor who has successfully transitioned from a child performer to a versatile young talent in film and television. He began his professional career at the age of eight, appearing in commercials before making his television debut in 2013 on the IFC series Comedy Bang! Bang!. He quickly gained recognition for his recurring role as the quirky B.J. Malloy on the Nickelodeon hit Sam & Cat. His major film breakthrough arrived in 2016 when he was cast as Derek Zoolander Jr., the estranged, intellectual son of Ben Stiller’s titular character in Zoolander 2, a role that showcased his ability to hold his own alongside comedy legends. Arnold's career is marked by a wide range of genres, moving easily between high-octane action, horror, and family comedies. He appeared in the innovative first-person action film Hardcore Henry and took on a darker, dramatic role as David "Truck" Johnson III in the second season of the Fox horror series The Exorcist. In recent years, he has become a frequent face in streaming originals, starring as the school bully Josh Jagorski in the 8-bit holiday comedy 8-Bit Christmas and as the antagonist Kenny Yankovich in the Stephen King adaptation Mr. Harrigan's Phone on Netflix. In 2023, he joined the ensemble of the Netflix hit Family Switch as Hunter Drew, further solidifying his presence in the young adult comedy space. Beyond live-action roles, Arnold has established himself as a prominent voice actor, notably voicing Jawbreaker Malto in the animated series Transformers: EarthSpark, which has continued to release new episodes through 2025. He also contributed his voice to the animated Diary of a Wimpy Kid film series on Disney+. Standing at 6'3" (1.91 m), Arnold has used his distinct physical presence and deadpan delivery to carve out a niche for himself in Hollywood. Now 22 years old as of early 2026, he continues to expand his filmography with a mix of indie projects like Runt and Baby Blue alongside major studio voice work and streaming features.
