Personal life
[edit | edit source]Records was born in Portland, Oregon,[1] the son of Shawn Records, a photographer, and Jenny, a librarian.[4][1]
Records attended Metropolitan Learning Center, a public Kx12 school, for most of his childhood. He then transferred to Trillium Charter School for the rest of High School.
Career
[edit | edit source]Records first became famous for the main role in Where the Wild Things Are when he was hired personally by Spike Jonze.[5] Records' father, who is a photographer, was asked to send the company information of actors fitting a certain description; his son happened to fit the criteria, so his information was also provided.
Before being cast in Where the Wild Things Are, Records starred in a music video for the band Death Cab for Cutie.[5]
After Where the Wild Things Are, his most notable roles are Young Stephen in The Brothers Bloom and Slater Pedula in The Sitter.
Records co-starred with Christopher Lloyd as John Wayne Cleaver in the film I Am Not a Serial Killer, shot in 2015[6] and released in early 2016. Rolling Stone described the role as "a homicidal Midwestern teen who has to kill a mass murderer in order to stop becoming one himself".[7]
