Elliot Fletcher (born June 30, 1996)[1] is an American actor known for his work on the MTV comedy series Faking It, the Freeform drama The Fosters and the Showtime dramedy Shameless.[2][3]
Early life
Fletcher was raised in Los Angeles, California, by her parents, actors Julia Fletcher and John DeMita.
Career
Fletcher joined the cast of Faking It as Noah, in early 2016.[4][5] In April 2016, the media announced that Fletcher would be joining the cast of The Fosters in a recurring guest-starring role as Aaron, an "attractive and intriguing law student" and potential romantic interest of Callie (Maia Mitchell).[2] Fletcher originally considered auditioning for the role of Cole on The Fosters, but decided against it. The role was later filled by Fletcher's close friend Tom Phelan.[6]
Fletcher also appeared in season 7 and then became a recurring cast member in season 8 of the Showtime TV show Shameless. He plays Trevor, a trans man who works for an organization that helps find homes for runaways and homeless LGBT+ teens. He then befriends and gets into a relationship with Ian Gallagher.[7]
In 2017, transgender actors and actresses including Fletcher (with the help of GLAAD and ScreenCrush) were part of a filmed letter to Hollywood written by Jen Richards, asking for more and improved roles for transgender people.[8][9]
