Biography
Gregg Sulkin's career trajectory mirrors a coming-of-age story, evolving from the clean-cut world of Disney into more complex dramatic territory. He first gained attention as a teen star on Disney Channel's UK series 'As the Bell Rings' and then to a global audience as Mason Greyback, the charming werewolf love interest on 'Wizards of Waverly Place.' Rather than be typecast, Sulkin used that platform as a launchpad. He deliberately sought roles that added layers, playing a centuries-old vampire in MTV's 'Faking It' and a troubled young man in the thriller 'Don't Hang Up.' His work on Hulu's 'Runaways' as a witch-hunter grappling with legacy and morality showed a maturity beyond his early sitcom days. Sulkin has managed the rare feat of maintaining a steady presence while deliberately shedding his teen idol skin.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Gregg was born in 1992, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
