Anthony Turpel is 24 years old and is originally from Los Angeles, California, even though he spent the majority of his formative years in Providence, Rhode Island. The Love, Victor star was born Anthony Joseph Turpel on January 26, 2000, in Los Angeles, California. His birth sign is Aquarius and he belongs to the Caucasian ethnic group.
Turpel was raised in a two-parent household even though not much is known about the identities of the actor’s parents. Several publications have claimed that his mother is a former trooper while his dad is an actor turned business executive. In keeping with the speculation surrounding Anthony Turpel’s birth family, it has been said that the actor has an older half-brother from either one of his parents’ previous relationships, as well as an as-yet unidentified older sister.
Anthony Turpel began his formal educational journey while growing up in Providence and attended Gilbert Stuart Middle School. So far though, that is the extent of the information available on the handsome soap opera star’s formal education background. Anthony Turpel’s love for acting was birthed at the very young age of 5 when the actor performed in his middle school’s The Wizard of Oz as one of the Lollipop Guild. It was a Eureka moment for Anthony Turpel who has since worked very hard to achieve those acting aspirations.
He began by attending acting classes and getting some tips from his father and some of his professors at the acting institute and the actor has gone from strength to strength with the support of his family members, especially his mom who he credits for being the most influential and most inspirational part of his journey as an actor.
Anthony Turpel made his professional acting debut at age 15
Anthony Turpel’s hard work as an aspiring actor paid off in 2015 when he made his debut in the comedy TV series Comedy Bang! Bang!. He was only 15 years at the time and his impact in the 110-episode series that ran from 2012 to 2016 was minimal at best as he only appeared in just one episode of the series. Before the end of 2016, Turpel also made brief one-episode appearances in 3 other TV series including Life in Pieces, Future Shock, and the family, comedy, and sci-fi series Henry Danger.
Over the last 7 or more years, Anthony Turpel has seen his star as an actor rise with solid, sure-footed outings in a further over 10 movies and TV series, such as No Good Nick, 9-1-1, Love Actor, This Is Us, and of course, his most famous performance to date as R.J. Forrester in The Bold and the Beautiful, as of the time of writing this piece. It must be noted that some of the actor’s works in the last few years are yet to be released according to his IMDb page.
