In "A Classic Horror Story (2021)", Justin played a young teenager Samuel 19 in a meta-scene where he was watching the film itself. While the film actually featured a minor actor participating in a terrifying and violent plot, since the film was rated 14+ it could not show a minor watching it. Thus, right before the film was released, the scene was edited out of the final cut.
Justin was born in Italy to Canadian/Italian parents. He is fully bilingual in English and Italian. Among the actors that he admires are Ryan Gosling, Adam Driver, Matt Damon, Samuel L. Jackson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Scarlet Johansson, Bae Doona and Takeshi Kitano.
In March 2023, at the age of 15, together with "the Nest" Director Roberto De Feo and the female protagonist Francesca Cavallin, he participated in a three-guest seminar panel of the course for film producers at the Italian Experimental Cinematography Center (Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia).
Justin has three cats - Sophie, Charlie, and Louis; and a family horse Tergesteo now retired as a show-jumper.
Did not need to audition for the last three of his credited projects.
