Child actor Walker Scobell rose to fame with his role as young Adam Reed in Netflix’s 2022 film The Adam Project. Mistreated by his adult self (Ryan Reynolds), Walker’s journey with Ryan has been praised by many critics for its sincerity and hilarious spectacle.
Well, if this adorable kid has captured your heart, you won’t be disappointed to learn more about his parents. Read on and find out who Walker Scobell’s parents are: Peter (dad) and Melissa Scobell (mom).
Who are Walker Scobell’s parents?
Walker Scobell’s parents, Peter and Melissa Scobell, are his inspiration and heroes. They have always supported his passion. It’s no wonder he always explains that he loves them “to the moon and back, which is about 480,000 miles.”
We often see his parents at socials; especially at ceremonies, and there are always lovely captions. However, Walker says he’s not “very good at writing moving and inspirational paragraphs.” So he keeps them short.
On his mother’s birthday in 2021 (September 30), Walker shared a photo of his mom on IG with the caption, “Happy Birthday Mom!!! I love you to the moon and back!!! and as I explained in my last post about Dad, it’s been a very, very, very long way, love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Likewise, Peter and Melissa consider themselves lucky to have such a talented child. In addition to The Adam Project, Walker also appeared in the 2022 film Secret Headquarters. Additionally, he appeared on Entertainment Tonight and Today that same year.
The child actor started acting when he was in elementary school. But it was only after a trip to California that he decided to pursue a professional career and started working on his craft.
He’s a huge fan of superhero movies with favorites including Deadpool and Avengers: Endgame, which is why he was able to pull off the Ryan Reynolds impression in The Adam Project.
