Stephen Sean Ford ( Lunsford; born November 25, 1989) is an American actor and internet content producer. He played the titular character in The CW's Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight.

Early life

[edit]

Ford was born in Sacramento, California.[1] His parents sent him to acting class in elementary school to keep him out of trouble.[2]

Career

[edit]

Ford participated in Looking Ahead, a youth program sponsored by the Actors Fund of America, as a teen. He was a member of the Leadership Council from 2006 to 2007.[3] He began producing his own independent videos on YouTube in 2006.[citation needed] His content consisted of parodies of blockbuster films such as Inception, Twilight, and The Hangover.[citation needed]

Ford's early roles included minor characters in Zoey 101, Bratz, and Victorious. In 2009, he was cast in the main role for the kids' TV show Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight.[2] Ford co-starred in the horror films Maneater and Beneath the Darkness.[4] In 2012, he was cast as Matt Daehler in a recurring role on Teen Wolf.[5][6] Ford appeared in the psychological thriller film Homecoming, released on December 31, 2013.[7]

In 2014, shortly after his role on Switched at Birth, he took a hiatus from acting.[citation needed] In 2016, he started working for YouTube gaming channel Machinima as a host, editor, and producer for a variety of content.[citation needed] This sub-channel, Ascender, focused on live action adaptations of video games, starting with SIXERS, based on Ubisoft's Rainbow Six: Siege.[citation needed] Ford parted ways with the company, taking the Ascender channel with him, using it to rebrand his own production company.[8][better source needed]
