Rudy Pankow was born on August 12, 1998. He was born and raised in Alaska before moving to LA to pursue his dreams of acting.
Although Rudy grew up in Ketchikan, a small town in Alaska, he says it is rather similar to South Carolina, which is where Outer Banks was filmed.
He attended Ketchikan High School, where he was very athletic, competing in running and playing soccer. Pankow wanted to go to culinary school at first, but later chose to become an actor. He then began an acting course and took part in theater productions including The Nutcracker, Mary Poppins, and Oliver Twist.
He landed small roles before getting his big break in Outer Banks. Rudy Pankow plays JJ, who is a surfer and best friends with John B. His part in the popular Netflix show marks Rudy’s first lead role in a major series.
However, he’s also had small roles in The Politician and Acting For A Cause. Not to forget his parts in Lift Off With Drew Starkey, Space Waves, and The Crusades. In 2018, Rudy Pankow starred in the video for the Muse song Thought Contagion, as the director needed a boy who looked like Steve from the series Stranger Things. Hilariously, he bares quite a resemblance!
Rudy currently has 6.3 million followers on Instagram and often shares behind-the-scenes updates; much to fans’ delight, he is currently single.
