Biography

Skylar Astin, a renowned actor, was born Skylar Astin Lipstein in the vibrant city of New York, specifically in the picturesque Rockland County, which is nestled in the upper region of the Empire State. As the son of Meryland Barry Lipstein, a prominent executive in the garment industry, Astin was exposed to the world of business and entrepreneurship from a young age. He is the eldest of four siblings, comprising two brothers, Jace and Milan, and a sister, Brielle, who all shared in the joys and challenges of growing up together.

Astin's educational journey began at Clarkstown High School North, where he laid the foundation for his future success. Upon graduation, he took the next step by enrolling in the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, where he honed his craft and developed his passion for the performing arts. However, his academic pursuits were temporarily put on hold when he received the opportunity to join the original cast of the groundbreaking musical Spring Awakening on Broadway, playing the role of Georg. Astin's impressive performance in the show earned him widespread recognition and critical acclaim, and he remained with the production for nearly a year before making the move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film and television.
