Born and raised in Fresno, Lawrence (30, actor) made his way to Hollywood through community theater and commercials. This led to guest appearances on popular shows like 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' and 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', before landing the role of "Beans" on 'Even Stevens'.
"I had a schtick when I was a kid: I would always tell a joke at the end of an audition," Lawrence shared. His humor, combined with his unique look, landed him the role of Beans, which quickly became a fan-favorite character.
As "Beans", Lawrence stirred up chaos on the show with his lack of boundaries and obsessive love for bacon. However, not everyone was a fan of the bacon-loving sidekick. Lawrence revealed, "We had some fundamentalists who weren't too hot on bacon send some pretty interesting letters to me."
Life after 'Even Stevens'
Post-'Even Stevens', Lawrence faced a series of personal challenges, including the loss of his parents to cancer and struggles with depression. He also experienced difficulties booking roles due to his hair loss.
Despite these hardships, Lawrence has remained positive and focused on giving back. He's currently offering virtual acting lessons to underprivileged kids and hopes to open his own acting studio in the future. He also co-hosts a political talk show on YouTube and fundraises for various causes.
