Biography
Sean Nelson broke through as a child actor in Fresh (1994), playing the title role and earning both an Independent Spirit Award and a Sundance Film Festival Award for the performance. Born May 9, 1980, in the US, Nelson moved quickly into major supporting roles—American Buffalo (1996) and The Wood (1999)—while simultaneously securing a recurring role as Jesse Bayliss on the drama Sisters between 1995 and 1996. Rather than chase Hollywood leads, he built a sustainable career in independent cinema and television, taking smaller roles that allowed artistic flexibility. As an actor, Nelson works across film and television mediums, with a focus on character-driven independent projects. His life-path number of 5 reflects a restless, adaptive energy—fitting for someone who pivoted early from child stardom toward longer-term artistic work. Born under Taurus, Nelson embodies the sign's reputation for steady commitment; his shift away from major commercial roles toward indie work demonstrates the bull's preference for authentic, grounded projects over empty prestige.
