Ty Trumbo grew up in the small Florida beach town, New Smyrna Beach, where he spent most of his time with a basketball in his hands. He later attended Emory University in Atlanta, as a varsity athlete on both the basketball and track teams.
After graduating with a degree in screenwriting, Ty took a job as a lobbyist where he traveled all over the country hoping to spark change and eventually found himself in Los Angeles working on behalf of the major motion pictures studios. While in Los Angeles, it wasn't long before Ty's appreciation for acting booked him his first major role as a series regular on MR. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT. The series won best ensemble cast at the 2017 Streamy Awards and is now available on Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime. Ty has also appeared in several other television productions, including Netflix’s DEAR WHITE PEOPLE, Amazon's BOSCH: Legacy; HBO's DUSTER, Fox’s THE PASSAGE and THE RESIDENT, amongst others. In 2019 Ty was nominated for "Best Actor" by the Austin Revolution Film Festival for his performance in the feature film THE SOUND OF SETTLING. With the industry building such a strong presence in Atlanta, Georgia, Ty was able to merge his love of film with his love of soul food and is now bicoastal, living in Los Angeles and Atlanta. He is an active member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA). |
Ty is currently repped by Ignite Management and HRI Talent.
