Lucas Daniel Till was born in Fort Hood, Texas, to Dana Lyn (née Brady) and John Mark Till, a lieutenant colonel in the army. His childhood was spent primarily in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. From a very young age, Lucas demonstrated an affinity for impersonating voices and characters, which caught the attention of his family.
At the age of 11, his mother enrolled him in local acting classes, and it wasn't long before he was discovered by an Atlanta agent, Joy Pervis. Lucas quickly began booking jobs in print, local, regional, and national commercials. He soon landed his first movie role as Harry Vanderbilt in The Adventures of Ociee Nash (2002),starring Keith Carradine and Mare Winningham.
As a natural for film roles, Lucas continued his success by landing his first co-starring role in Lightning Bug (2004) alongside Laura Prepon and Bret Harrison. When he was 13, he made his first trip to Los Angeles, and shortly after returning to Atlanta, he booked the sought-after role of Jack Cash, older brother of Johnny Cash, in the award-winning biopic Walk the Line (2005),directed by James Mangold and starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon.
With high school approaching, Lucas made the decision to stay in Atlanta to attend and experience public high school. He continued acting, landing roles in movies for Lifetime Television and several independent features, including Dance of the Dead (2008),which was directed by Gregg Bishop and hand-picked by director Sam Raimi for distribution through Lionsgate and Ghost House Pictures.
Three weeks before graduating from high school with honors, Lucas auditioned for Disney's Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009) and was cast in the lead role of Travis Brody. After only one week on the set, Lucas flew back to Atlanta to graduate with his high school class of 2008. Lucas now resides in Los Angeles, pursuing his acting career.
