Early life

Tatro attended Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California.[3] He started making comical videos with friends in high school, and then continued to do so at the University of Arizona. He dropped out of school his junior year. While at Arizona he was a member of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity.[4]

Career

Tatro has performed stand-up comedy across the country at comedy clubs and college campuses.[5]

Tatro's career segued into movies in 2013 with a minor role in the Adam Sandler comedy Grown Ups 2. He then appeared opposite Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in 2014's 22 Jump Street as Rooster.[4][6] In 2016, he appeared in the film adaptation of Blue Mountain State.

Tatro starred alongside Gary Busey in the Christian Summer Camp comedy, Camp Manna.[7][8] Tatro's character, Clayton Vance, is described as "the epitome of Christian cool, Clayton Vance is the counselor every kid wants to be. He only loves one thing more than the Lord… himself. Leader of the Righteous Regiment cabin, his alarming charisma and pedigree for 'winning souls' makes him the envy of everyone. But underneath this suave identity lies a lot of insecurity, and he will do anything it takes including lying, cheating, and manipulating Ian into his cabin - to win his fifth consecutive God Games title."[9]

In 2017, Tatro starred in the Netflix Original series American Vandal, a "true-crime satire that explores the aftermath of a costly high school prank that left twenty-seven faculty cars vandalized with phallic images."[10] Tatro plays Dylan Maxwell, a student accused of vandalizing the cars, and focuses on the mystery of proving his innocence. The show satirizes the popular true-crime genre, such as the Netflix series Making a Murderer.[11] Tatro received wide critical praise for his performance and was nominated for various critics awards.

On November 20, 2017, Tatro announced via social media that he joined the cast of Smallfoot, a 3D computer-animated comedy film as the character Thorp. The film was released in September 2018.
