CALUM WORTHY

Let’s talk about client, Calum Worthy. If you still think of him as Dez from Austin & Ally, you’re in for a serious plot twist. This guy isn’t just playing goofy sidekicks anymore—he’s taking on Hollywood’s darkest dramas and literally trying to save the planet at the same time.

 

From Comedy to Serious Drama

Remember when Calum was all about making us laugh until we couldn’t breathe on Austin & Ally? Well, those days are long gone. He’s since leveled up in a big way, starring as Nick Godejohn in Hulu’s The Act. And guess what? He held his own next to heavyweights like Patricia Arquette and Joey King. His portrayal of Nick was dark, twisted, and seriously compelling—nothing like the goofy Dez we all knew. “Joey King is a total boss,” Calum said, “She’s not just an incredible actor; she’s the kind of leader you want to follow.” And follow he did, right into one of the most intense performances of his career.

But wait, there’s more! Calum then joined forces with the one and only Toni Collette in Netflix’s Pieces of Her. This show is all about dark secrets and even darker family drama, and Calum brought his A-game yet again. Let’s be real, when you’re acting opposite Toni Collette and not getting totally overshadowed, you know you’re doing something right.

Turning Passion into Action

Now, let’s switch gears. Did you know Calum is also out there trying to save the freaking planet? Yeah, he’s not just another actor who tweets about climate change. He’s working with legends like Al Gore, Bono, and the Gates Foundation.

Oh, and let’s not forget his fellow Canadians, Ryan Reynolds and Jonathan Scott (KC taught Jonathon's brother, Drew... small world). Together, they’re making serious moves to combat climate change. Calum’s all about turning passion into action, and he’s using his platform to inspire us all to do the same. He’s not just talking about the environment—he’s doing something about it.

The Screen Acting School Connection

But how did he get here? Well, a huge shoutout goes to his coach, KC. “A great coach can change your life. I wouldn’t have the career I have today if I didn’t have KC in my life.” 

What’s Next for Calum Worthy?

So, what’s next for Calum? More gritty roles? More climate-saving action? Probably both. One thing’s for sure—this guy is far from finished. He’s got the talent, the passion, and the drive to keep pushing boundaries, both on screen and off. Stay tuned, because Calum Worthy is just getting started, and you definitely want to be along for the ride.
