| What Tv Shows Has Austin Butler Been In |
From Zoey 101 to Life Unexpected: The Early Days of a Charmingly Chaotic Career
Austin's early resume is a delightful mishmash of shows you probably forgot even existed (and maybe for good reason). We're talking guest spots on classics like Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide (because apparently surviving middle school needed a guide?) and Zoey 101 (did anyone actually watch Zoey or was it all about heartthrob Chase?).
But hey, everyone's gotta start somewhere, right? And let's not forget, these early appearances honed Austin's comedic timing, which would later prove crucial for his portrayal of, well, not exactly Elvis (more on that later).
Teen Drama King: The Rise of Austin "McDreamy" Butler
As Austin aged (and presumably stopped eating paste), he graduated from kiddie shows to the oh-so-dramatic world of teen dramas. We're talking recurring roles on shows like Life Unexpected and Switched at Birth. Let's be honest, these shows were basically soap operas for the teenage set, but Austin brought a certain charm that made us want to believe in the ever-present drama (who knew high school could be so angsty?).
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
This is where things get interesting. Austin landed the lead role in The Carrie Diaries, a prequel to the iconic Sex and the City. Suddenly, Austin wasn't just navigating the hallways of Pacific Coast High, he was navigating the bustling streets of New York City alongside a young Carrie Bradshaw. Talk about a major glow-up!
From Shannara to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: Austin Goes Epic (and a Little Bit Tarantino)
Okay, maybe Austin wasn't exactly wielding a lightsaber in The Shannara Chronicles, but it was definitely a foray into the fantastical. This sci-fi adventure series showed that Austin could handle more than just swooning looks and witty banter.
Then came Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a film by the one and only Quentin Tarantino. Here, Austin shed his teen heartthrob image and embodied the creepy charisma of real-life Manson family member Tex Watson. Let's just say, this was a far cry from James Garrett in Zoey 101.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
And finally, the role that catapulted him to superstardom: Elvis Presley in the biopic simply titled Elvis. While the jury's still out on whether he quite captured the King's signature swagger, there's no denying that Austin put his heart and soul into the performance.
