His first appearance in the news was in an article by the Los Angeles Times in 2003, with a photo of him performing a Hawaiian dance while attending a summer camp of the Chopra Foundation at age 6.
His favorite movies are the "Back to the Future" trilogy and "Ghostbusters".
His short films with Robert Sladeczek were first published under the name "2Bert", a joking reference to the second syllable in both of the filmmakers' first names.
