Dmitri Schuyler-Linch

Dmitri began acting at the age of four, performing primarily in commercials. The one exception was a small role in the short film "Livewire" because he knew someone starring in it, the producer saw him, and thought he'd be perfect for the role. When he was seven, he made his feature film debut in the movie "Step Brothers" with Will Ferrell, Adam Scott and John C. Reilly. The part was a small one, but it was a particularly touching scene. Since then he's had leads in a few short films, all of which went to film festivals. "A Border Story" was an official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival, and in "Salvation Road" he played, at the age of nine, a boy unloved by his stepmother, and brutally beaten by his father. He has a chance meeting with an assassin with a conscious and well, I'll leave it at that! Most recently he's co-starred in the feature film "Jessica's Journey", and the TV movie "Christmas Twister". He was seen in a smaller supporting, but adorable and energetic role in the TV movie Rock The House starring Jack Coleman, Cassi Thomson and Andy Milder. On the small screen he's acted in Suburgatory, Eagleheart, Parks and Recreation, NCIS, And Disney's Tasty Time with ZeFronk. Very soon you'll be able to catch him on Nickelodeon's, "Wendell and Vinnie" starring Jerry Trainor.Dmitri loves being an actor, but is now branching out. He recently wrote, directed and co-starred in his first ten minute short film titled "The Hunt for Shadowman". It was a lot of hard work, and ambitious since it was an action film--and was done on a shoe-string budget. He learned a lot about camera angles, choreography, working with kids AND animals, lighting, and the importance of keeping to a schedule. He also contributed to the editing process, and found out how much post-production sound contributes to the mood of a project. Show less «
