And he's married. Married!
I so need to find out how old he is because he looks fairly young.

I didn't know he was married, but I agree he looks younger than his age (IMDB has him as being 26). I remember him from a Disney show called "In A Heartbeat" that aired several years ago and he was playing a high school student then as well...

Danso Gordon (Clay Carlin)
Growing up in Toronto and Halifax, athletic Danso Gordon shot hoops and ran, but the budding performer also enjoyed amusing schoolmates with his antics. He kicked off his career in 1995, by appearing on the popular CBC series Street Cents. Soon after, this third of five kids of an engineer and a secretary set his sights on Hollywood.

After moving to LA to live with his dad at 15, Danso found high school a social challenge, which helps him relate to his character Clay.

While studying theater arts at Valley College and psychobiology at UCLA, Gordon pursued his acting career, performing in numerous theatrical productions and commercials – including a sneaker spot with basketball great Charles Barkley – and guest-starring on such series as Sliders and Get Real. He landed regular roles on the NBC comedy series Hang Time and Disney Channel’s In a Heartbeat. His feature films credits include American History X, Dirty Deeds and Dear Wendy.

In his off-hours Danso maintains an interest in real estate, travel and films and enjoys playing basketball. His future plans include producing and writing his own films.
