Early years
Birth and upbringing
Curran Walters was born on January 16, 1998, in Oak Park, California.[6] Public information about his family remains limited, though he was raised in the suburban Southern California community of Oak Park alongside his parents and younger sister, Harlowe Walters.[1][7] His early childhood was spent in this environment, which provided a typical suburban upbringing in Ventura County. He later transitioned to attending Oak Park High School in the same area.[6]Education and initial interests
Curran Walters attended Oak Park High School in Oak Park, California, where he graduated in 2016.[8] During his high school years, Walters participated in extracurricular activities including JV soccer, contributing to the team's efforts as a forward.[8] He also gained early exposure to modeling through local opportunities. Walters developed an early passion for acting from a young age, often dreaming of portraying superheroes, which aligned with his upbringing in a supportive Oak Park environment.[9][10] These high school experiences, combining athletic involvement and introductory interests in performance, helped cultivate his interests in entertainment and paved the way for his later pursuits in modeling and acting.[9]Professional career
Modeling
Walters entered the modeling industry in his mid-teens, shortly after developing an interest in performance during high school.[10] Born in 1998, he began working professionally around 2014, aligning with the early phase of his career before transitioning to acting.[1] His modeling portfolio included campaigns and print advertisements for prominent clothing brands such as Tilly's, Lee Jeans, and Brothers. These assignments involved promotional modeling that showcased his versatility in fashion editorials and commercial shoots, primarily from 2014 to 2016.[6] This period marked his initial foray into the entertainment sector, building a foundation through visual media work. The experience offered Walters essential exposure to industry professionals and networks in Los Angeles, facilitating his shift toward on-camera opportunities. As he later reflected, acting emerged as a natural progression from modeling, which he pursued starting in his youth without prior formal consideration.[10]Acting beginnings
In 2015, Walters appeared as Young Jake Apex in the episode "Oregon" of the Fox comedy New Girl.[11] Curran Walters made his acting debut in the 2014 short comedy film Growing Up and Down, marking his entry into on-screen performance. In 2016, he secured his first feature film role as Matt in Mike Mills's coming-of-age drama 20th Century Women, portraying a supporting character in the ensemble cast alongside Annette Bening and Elle Fanning. That same year, Walters began appearing in television with a recurring role as the younger version of Jackson Brooks in the NBC thriller series Game of Silence, featuring in five episodes. He followed this with guest spots as Evan in two episodes of Disney Channel's Girl Meets World.[12] By 2018, Walters continued building his television presence with roles including Lucas in the made-for-TV film Playing Dead, Patches in seven episodes of the Netflix miniseries Best. Worst. Weekend. Ever., a guest appearance as Xander in an episode of ABC's Speechless, and Gabriel in an episode of Netflix's Alexa & Katie. These early roles, often minor or recurring, helped him accumulate credits and gain experience in the industry.[1] Walters transitioned to acting after a brief stint in modeling, which provided initial exposure to the entertainment world and led naturally to on-camera opportunities.[10] He has described the shift as organic, noting that acting emerged as a passion once he began auditioning, though early pressures included adapting to character demands and the competitive audition process.[10]Rise to prominence
In 2018, Curran Walters was cast as Jason Todd, also known as Robin and later Red Hood, in the DC Universe series Titans, marking the character's first live-action portrayal on television.[13] The role debuted in the fifth episode of season 1 and expanded significantly in subsequent seasons, with Walters appearing in 26 episodes across the series from 2018 to 2023.[1] Walters' depiction of Jason Todd traced the character's arc from a brash sidekick to Batman to a vengeful anti-hero, including key plot points like his apparent death, resurrection via the Lazarus Pit, and transformation into Red Hood in season 3.[14] This evolution highlighted themes of trauma, loyalty, and moral ambiguity, drawing parallels to the character's comic book history. Fans received Walters' performance positively, appreciating its comic-accurate mannerisms and emotional depth, with many expressing excitement for the Red Hood storyline.[15] Critics also praised his work, noting his ability to convey subtle emotional spirals and charismatic energy in standout episodes like "Jason Todd" from season 1.[16] The Titans role propelled Walters to greater recognition within the superhero genre, solidifying his association with the DC Universe and opening doors to further opportunities in high-profile projects.[17] The series concluded after its fourth season in April 2023, with Walters reprising the role in a pivotal episode to wrap up Jason Todd's storyline.[18] Contemporaneously, in 2019, Walters appeared in the horror thriller film Do Not Reply as Dylan, a supporting character in a story about social media dangers.[19]Recent work
In 2024, Walters starred as Charlie in the short film With Love, Charlie, directed by Jaren Hayman, portraying an American soldier during the Korean War whose letters home intertwine with the fates of Korean counterparts amid wartime separation.[4] The film premiered at festivals including the HollyShorts Film Festival and later debuted on Samsung TV Plus in the UK in August 2025, highlighting Walters' ability to convey emotional depth in historical dramas.[20][21] That same year, Walters was cast in the independent drama Out Come the Wolves, inspired by Rancid's 1995 album and set in the 1990s East Bay punk scene, where he joins an ensemble including Giancarlo Esposito and Ryan Hurst in a story of grit, violence, and musical ambition.[22][23] The project, directed by Danny Peykoff, marks Walters' venture into music-driven narratives and began production announcements in November 2024.[24] Walters' most recent project as of November 2025 is the short film Butterfly on a Wheel (2025), directed by Trevor Morris, in which he plays Jacen Davis, a talented Toronto-based musician grappling with OCD and anxiety ahead of a pivotal performance.[5][25] The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025 and has garnered early attention, appearing on Film & Television Business's preliminary Oscar predictions list for Best Live Action Short Film in 2026.[26][27] As of November 2025, Walters remains active in the industry, frequently sharing updates on social media about auditions and behind-the-scenes work, signaling ongoing pursuits in both indie shorts and genre features without major awards to date, though his roles demonstrate increasing versatility across dramatic and psychological themes.[28]Filmography
