Brent Kinsman, a talented actor, and his identical twin brother Shane Kinsman have made a significant impact in the entertainment industry. Their remarkable journey as actors began when they were discovered by a talent agent while attending a Los Angeles Dodger game at the tender age of four. At the time, they had no aspirations to become actors, but the agent saw great potential in the twins and encouraged them to start auditioning.
The family decided to give it a try, and the Kinsman twins went on their first audition, landing their first job - a national Tylenol commercial. Shortly after, they booked their early breakthrough role as child actors in the 2003 blockbuster feature film family comedy Cheaper By The Dozen and its 2005 sequel Cheaper By the Dozen 2. In these films, they portrayed the rambunctious twins Kyle and Nigel Baker, opposite Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt.
The twins also starred together in the first four seasons of the Emmy Award-winning hit ABC TV comedy-drama series Desperate Housewives, playing the roles of Porter and Preston Scavo, the twin sons of Lynnette Scavo (Felicity Huffman) from 2004 to 2008.
In 2008, the twins decided to take a break from their busy acting career to focus on their family and education. Brent excelled in school, as well as football and baseball, graduating from Maranatha High School in Pasadena, CA in 2016. He then enrolled at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, earning a degree in Agricultural Science, graduating in 2020.
Currently, Brent and his brother Shane are excited to continue their careers in acting, with a passion for pursuing projects that exemplify authentic wholesome family values. In his free time, Brent enjoys working out, including lifting weights, training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and yoga. He leads an active lifestyle and loves spending time outdoors. Other interests include playing guitar, fly fishing, snowboarding, and motocross.
