Early life

Chase Stokes was born on September 16, 1992, in Annapolis, Maryland, the only child of Jeff Stokes and Jennifer Canning. His parents divorced when he was several months old.[3] Stokes subsequently moved with his mother to Atlanta, Georgia,[4] and later to Orlando, Florida as a teenager where he attended Timber Creek High School.[5] He received his bachelor's degree at Valencia College and later attended University of Central Florida and Seminole State College.[6] Growing up, he aspired to become a professional ice hockey player.[7]

Career

Stokes had small roles in television at the beginning of his acting career, including Stranger Things, Daytime Divas, and Tell Me Your Secrets.[8]

He originally turned down an offer to audition for Outer Banks in February 2019, before reading for the role of Topper and later John B.[9] The first season was released on April 15, 2020, to positive reviews, and a second season was confirmed in July.[10]

That same month, it was announced that he would be playing TJ in One Of Us Is Lying. However, after filming the pilot in 2019, it was announced that Chase would not return due to a scheduling conflict with the second season of Outer Banks and he was replaced.[11]

In September 2020, Stokes and Madelyn Cline starred in the music video for Kygo and Donna Summer's single "Hot Stuff”.
