Parker Young Facts
- He has recollected that while growing up, he used to enjoy playing sports, rock climbing, paintballing as well as exploring the Sonoran desert.
- Parker had first taken the stage as a junior while in high school, as part of a one-act play that went on to secure the first position out of 3 dramas penned by students for the school’s competition. The seemingly trivial victory had been enough to inspire Parker to try out acting. He had received a lot of encouragement from his drama teacher and started putting his mind to it, making his senior year to become a whirlwind of preparing for college, and juggling theater and football at the same time.
- Young has affirmed that he has had a whale of a time portraying Ryan Shay in Suburgatory. He has added that his character had not been written as so extremely dumb at the beginning and that he just morphed into the complete knucklehead. While essaying Ryan, Parker has simply imagined himself to be a child who says what is on his mind. He has had fun playing the impulsive character who dances or takes off his clothes if he feels like it, exactly like a kid.
- Parker has stated that it had felt natural to play someone who is in high school in Suburgatory as for the majority of his life, he has recalled being in high school, which were his fondest years. He has just tapped back into when he played football in high school and how it was to be in that ambiance, having found it super easy and fun to jump back into it.
