Career

[edit]

Grey made his professional acting debut at the age of 10 in a 2016 episode of the Fox supernatural series Wayward Pines opposite Melissa Leo.[5][6] Later that year, he was cast in a recurring role in the Netflix Emmy-winning[7] western miniseries Godless (2017) appearing alongside Scoot McNairy and Merritt Wever.[2]

In 2017, Grey was cast in a drama pilot, Crash & Burn, based on the Michael Hassan bestselling book of the same name.[8][9]

In January 2019, Grey began filming the Searchlight Pictures dark comedy Downhill, set in the Austrian Alps. He portrays one of the fraternal twin sons of characters played by Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.[10] At the film’s New York premiere, Grey described working with the cast as “so much fun,” noting that the shoot included frequent improvisation and explored both comedic and serious themes.[11] Downhill premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2020 and was released theatrically the following month.[12]

In October 2019, Grey began filming Blumhouse’s supernatural horror sequel The Craft: Legacy, a continuation of the 1996 cult classic The Craft. He portrays Abe, the youngest of Adam Harrison’s (David Duchovny) three sons and Lily’s (Cailee Spaeny) stepbrothers.[13][14] The film was released on premium video-on-demand in North America on October 28, 2020, due to COVID-19-related theater closures,[15] and received a limited international theatrical release in select markets.[16][17]

In February 2020, Grey began filming The Matrix Resurrections, directed by Lana Wachowski. He plays Brandon, the teenage son of Tiffany / Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Chad (Chad Stahelski), and appears in two scenes opposite Thomas Anderson / Neo (Keanu Reeves). After filming initial scenes in San Francisco, production was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It later resumed in Berlin under strict health protocols and wrapped in the fall of 2020.[18] The Matrix Resurrections premiered at San Francisco's Castro Theatre on December 18, 2021,[19] and was released in the United States on December 22, 2021, in theaters and on HBO Max as part of Warner Bros.'s day-and-date release strategy.[20][21]

In October 2022, Grey joined the cast of Fear the Walking Dead for season 8B, the final installment of the series. He portrays Klaus, the adopted teenage son of long-running series lead Victor Strand (Colman Domingo). Grey appeared in four episodes, including the series finale, as part of a storyline involving the collapse of PADRE and Strand’s personal reckoning.[22][23]
