Black-and-white portrait of Luke Edwards

Luke Edwards is an American actor who began his career at seven years old after attending classes at the storied Young Actor's Space in Van Nuys, California, led by legendary teachers Diane Hardin and Nora Eckstein.

A training ground for an incredible number of performers — from Leonardo DiCaprio to Emma Stone.

After booking a handful of commercials and small TV appearances, he was cast in the critically acclaimed NBC mini-series I Know My First Name is Steven, and then as a young Johnny Depp in 21 Jump Street. Soon after, Luke landed the title role in Universal's The Wizard, portrayed the son of Robert De Niro in Guilty by Suspicion, forayed into sitcom alongside the legendary Jonathan Winters for Davis Rules, danced alongside Christian Bale in Newsies, managed the Twins baseball club in Little Big League, and battled the Creeper in Jeepers Creepers 2.

More recently, Luke portrayed the bird-head killer in the second season of HBO's True Detective and a Keyser Söze-esque mob boss in the sixteenth season of the CBS series NCIS.
