Career

edit

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 the main character's son in the romantic comedy Maid in Manhattan.[6] 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 auditioned for the same roles as child actors.[6]

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. 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.[7] He also co-starred in the 2012 film White Frog. In 2015, he became a co-producer for the fifth season of Teen Wolf.[8] In the following year, it was announced at San Diego Comic-Con that Teen Wolf would end in 2017 after the completion of its sixth season.[9] His work garnered him two Teen Choice Awards, a Young Hollywood Award, an ALMA Award and nominations for a Saturn Award and People's Choice Award.

On May 24, 2017, Posey was cast as Lucas Moreno in the Blumhouse supernatural thriller film Truth or Dare.[10] The film was released in theaters on April 13, 2018.[11][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][16] 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.[17]

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

In September 2021, it was announced that a reunion film for Teen Wolf had been ordered by Paramount+, with Jeff Davis returning as a screenwriter and executive producer of the film. The majority of the original cast members, including Posey, were set to reprise their roles, with Posey also serving as a producer.[19][20] The film was released on January 26, 2023.[21]

In 2023, Posey competed in season ten of The Masked Singer as "Hawk". He was eliminated on "Harry Potter Night".[22][23]

Other work

edit

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.[24] Lost in Kostko released their eight-track EP You're Going to Need a Towel in 2011.[25] Posey announced the band's breakup via Instagram on July 17, 2013.[26]

In December 2016, Posey was a guest DJ at Emo Nite LA's second anniversary at the Echoplex in Los Angeles.[27]

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.[28] 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 Posey and Kyle Murphy. Posey and Murphy originate from just off "The 5" (Interstate 5 in California) in Santa Clarita, California, hence the origin of the band's name Five North.[29] The two recruited Makeout drummer Scott Eckel after being introduced by music producer and close friend John Feldmann.[30] Five North's debut single "This Mess"[31] was released on October 4, 2019, and their debut eight-track EP Scumbag was released on March 6, 2020, via Big Noise Music Group.[30]

In August 2021, Posey made a cameo appearance in the music video for "Broke",[32] the song by UK pop-punk band the Bottom Line, who Posey met when touring the UK together in 2018 during his time in PVMNTS.[33]

Personal life

edit

Posey became engaged to his childhood sweetheart, Seana Gorlick, in 2013.[34] The couple broke off the engagement that same year, after a ten-year relationship.[35][36] He started dating singer Phem in 2020, and in February 2022, they announced their engagement.[37] They married in October 2023.[38]

Posey's mother, Cyndi Terese Garcia, died of breast cancer in December 2014.[39] The fifth season of Teen Wolf was dedicated to her memory.[4][40][41]

In an October 2020 interview, Posey disclosed that he had begun smoking marijuana at the age of 12 and had developed an addiction. At that time, Posey stated that he had been sober for 71 days.[42] In March 2021, Posey stated that he was no longer sober but added that he had learned a great deal from his experience of sobriety.[43]

Also in October 2020, Posey revealed that he had "hooked up" with men and does not like to label his sexuality.[44][45] In an interview on Sirius XM, Posey said, "I was hit with wanting to come out myself and be honest about it. I know a lot of kids look up to me, and I want to get rid of that stigma."[46] In July 2021, Posey came out as queer and sexually fluid.[47][48]
