Biography

  • Starting off at just 4 years old in front of 3,400 people per night for the hit Broadway musical "Waitress" (national equity tour), Devyn's career has taken off!

    A few months later, at the age of five, Devyn was carefully selected out of thousands around the world to star opposite of award-winning actors such as Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard, Simon Helberg and work with the highly regarded, critically acclaimed international director Leos Carax in the musical feature film, "Annette" (2021). This was Devyn's first time both traveling and filming overseas (Belgium & Germany). At the 74th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, Annette won Best Soundtrack, Best Director and opened the prestigious festival. Devyn's live-action performance in the film has been reported by some as one of the best by a child actor, and they are one of, if not, the youngest actors ever to sing a full length song on film.

    At 6 years old, Devyn also worked alongside with the talented, award winning cast of Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne in the anticipated thriller, "The Good Nurse", directed by Tobias Lindholm.

    A few months later, Devyn was cast as the granddaughter of acting legends Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening in the Paramount+ film "Jerry and Marge Go Large", under the direction of award winning director David Frankel.

    Soon after, they were the face of the Montefiore 2021 Holiday Campaign, "Caring Makes Magic", directed by the incredible Derek Cianfrance.

    At seven years old, Devyn worked alongside the icon himself, Ewan McGregor as his young daughter in, "You Sing Loud, I Sing Louder."

    At ten years old, Devyn took on their first lead role as Cassie, in the film Mermaid, slated to come out in late 2025 - early 2026.

    Devyn is complemented and commended regularly by industry peers on their natural talent, work ethic, handling challenging roles, big personality and ability to quickly learn and adapt.

    In their spare time, they enjoy trying new foods (and loves sashimi...especially tuna, eel, and octopus), traveling to new places, swimming, soccer, art, music, board games and anything that is competitive or challenging. They are an aspiring Marine Biologist that works hands on with their local sea turtle rescue and marine mammal stranding organizations.

    While they are passionate about acting, Devyn is very empathetic about philanthropy and is always looking for ways to give or help out.

    There is no doubt that their future is bright.

Trivia

  • Before the age of 7, Devyn had both Kylo Ren (Adam Driver; Annette) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor; Bleeding Love) as their film fathers.
  • Devyn was five years & five months old when she performed her critically acclaimed, full length song/duet, "Sympathy For The Abyss" in Annette. It was filmed live-action, with no lip syncing or studio time, quite possibly making Devyn one of, if not the youngest, singers in a feature film to accomplish this feat.
  • By the age of 10, Devyn worked with two main cast members of Saturday Night Live, in two different films both titled Mermaid. (Kevin Nealon in Mermaid directed by Tyler Cornack; Alex Moffat in Mermaid directed by Fia Perera).
