Israel Broussard

Isaiah Israel Broussard, known professionally as Israel Broussard, is an acclaimed American actor who began his acting career in 2010. Born on August 22, 1994, in Gulfport, Mississippi, Broussard made a striking entry into the world of cinema with his film debut in the comedy-drama Flipped. He is well-recognized for his diverse roles in multiple genres including the crime film The Bling Ring (2013), drama Perfect High (2015), thriller H8RZ (2015), comedy Good Kids (2016), the slasher film Happy Death Day (2017), its 2019 sequel Happy Death Day 2U, and the popular teen romance film To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018). Broussard's career graph has seen a remarkable ascendency marked by a spectrum of roles that have showcased his inimitable acting prowess.

Broussard's early life was marked by personal loss with the death of his father when he was only four. Raised in Saucier, Mississippi, by his mother and stepfather, Broussard, along with his older sister, was later adopted by his stepfather. He took on his stepfather's surname and embarked on an acting journey that has been noted for its variety and depth. His nuanced portrayal of Marc Hall in The Bling Ring, a character based on the real-life events of teenage burglars, garnered critical acclaim. His subsequent roles, including his appearance in the music video for M83's Claudia Lewis, and his lead role in the alien invasion thriller Extinction, further contributed to his acting repertoire. His career, however, wasn't without controversy. A series of insensitive and racist tweets later led him to issue a public apology.
