Tyler Garcia Posey (born October 18, 1991)[1] is an American actor, musician, model, director and producer, best known for his role as Scott McCall on the MTV series Teen Wolf (2011–2017).[2]

Early life

Posey was born in Santa Monica, California, to actor/writer John Posey and Cyndi Terese Posey (nee Garcia).[3] He grew up in Santa Clarita, California.[4] Posey has two brothers: Derek and Jesse.[3]

His mother, who was of Mexican descent, died of breast cancer in December 2014.[5] Season 5 of Teen Wolf was dedicated to her memory.[4][6][7]

Career

Posey has worked steadily in film and television. In February 2002, he appeared in the film Collateral Damage; in December of that year, he played Jennifer Lopez's son in the romantic comedy Maid in Manhattan.[8] He auditioned for the role of Jacob Black in the Twilight film series in 2007 but lost the role to his friend Taylor Lautner. The two regularly went for the same roles as child actors.[8]

That same year, Posey voiced a character in the pilot of the Disney original cartoon SheZow, which aired on May 4 as a part of the Shorty McShorts' Shorts miniseries.[9] In 2012, he co-starred with Twilight actor Booboo Stewart in the film White Frog. In 2011, Posey was cast in his breakout role as the lead in the MTV television series Teen Wolf, which is based on the 1985 film. Posey plays high school student Scott McCall, who is bitten by a werewolf and must keep this fact secret while protecting his loved ones from a host of supernatural threats and beings. In 2015, he also became a co-producer for the fifth season of Teen Wolf.[10]

On May 24, 2017, Posey was cast as Lucas Moreno in the Blumhouse supernatural thriller film Truth or Dare.[11] The film was released in theaters on April 13, 2018.[12]

On September 25, 2017, it was announced that Posey would join the third season of the VH1 slasher television series Scream, starring in the role of Shane.[13] The season premiered on July 8, 2019.[14]

On February 20, 2019, it was announced that Posey would star as Michael Emerson in The CW's television reboot series of The Lost Boys.[15] On July 29, 2019, it was announced The CW was unhappy with the pilot and that Posey, along with most of the rest of the cast, would be recast.[16]

On November 18, 2019, it was announced that Posey would star in Netflix's animated Fast & Furious television series Fast & Furious: Spy Racers which would premiere on December 26, 2019.[17]

Other work

Posey used to front and play guitar in the band Disappearing Jamie, formerly known as Lost in Kostko. Their first performance was at The Roxy in Los Angeles in 2012.[18] Lost in Kostko released their eight-track EP You're Going to Need a Towel in 2011.[19] Posey announced the band's breakup via Instagram on July 17, 2013.[20]

In December 2016, Posey was a guest DJ at Emo Nite LA's second anniversary at the Echoplex in Los Angeles. [21]

Posey played guitar and contributed vocals in the pop punk band PVMNTS along with guitarist/bassist/vocalist Freddy Ramirez and drummer Nick Guzman. The trio released the song "Standing (On My Own Two Feet)" on June 14, 2018, on which Posey wrote about the passing of his mother in 2014. The band self-released their six-track EP Better Days on August 17, 2018.[22] In April 2019, it was announced that Posey had left the band and was pursuing another music venture, which became the band Five North.

Five North is a pop-punk rock band formed by childhood best friends Tyler Posey and Kyle Murphy. Posey and Murphy originate from just off "The 5" (Interstate 5 in California) in Santa Clarita, California, hence the birth of the band's name Five North.[23] The two recruited Makeout drummer Scott Eckel after being introduced by music producer and close friend John Feldmann.[24] Five North's debut single "This Mess"[25] was released on October 4, 2019, and their debut eight-track EP Scumbag was released on March 6, 2020 via Big Noise Music Group.[26]

Personal life

Posey became engaged to his childhood sweetheart, Seana Gorlick, in 2013.[27] The couple broke off the engagement that same year, after a ten-year relationship.[28][29]
