Just The Facts

Birthday: September 6

Provenance: Born in Houston, TX, Chavez grew up primarily in Denver, CO.

Romantic Status: He is happily spoken for and describes his girlfriend as “a wonderful brainiac that I absolutely adore”.

Sibling Revelry: Chavez has a 15-year-old half brother and a 9-year-old half sister on his mom’s side, and a 15-year-old half brother on his dad’s side.

Puppy Love: The Chavez family dog, a 1-year-old Great Dane, is named Moo “because he’s white with black spots, like a cow.”

Track Stars: “I’m into this weird kind of music called future funk; it’s kind of like soul and funk and R&B all in one. Some of my favorite artists are Blood Orange, Yves Tumor, and I’m a Mac Miller fan — but I’ve also been listening to a lot of Bruce Springsteen recently.”

Game On: He recently got his hands on a coveted Playstation 5 by lining up outside of a Gamestop at 5 a.m. and waiting for five hours, but insists, “I’m not a hard-core gamer like some people I know. I like the mainstream stuff — Madden, Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty. If I’ve just memorized a script, I’ll play something to let my mind process it.”

Grin And Bare It: The actor spent several of his early episodes clad only in a swimsuit as Spencer made use of the Metro Court pool. “Everybody made me feel very safe and comfortable,” he assures. “I mostly felt bad for the makeup artists who were painting my body every single day!”
