Prior to his graduation from the White Mountain School, Parker received a scholarship to the Perry Mansfield School for the Performing Arts, a summer school for aspiring teen actors. This led him to New York City, where he completed study at the Stella Adler Studio, the William Esper Studio, and the Hubert Berghof Studio.
