Early life

At 18 months old, Topp was alone in a baby playpen at his family home in Florida when he managed to escape and get outside. Whilst throwing rocks into the pool, he fell in and drowned. Topp was legally dead for an unknown amount of time before his mother came outside, and paramedics were called.[4][better source needed]

He went on to win the Jury Prize at the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival for his performance in Dear Lemon Lima.[5] In 2012, Topp appeared in the Disney Channel show So Random! alongside fellow future Smosh member Damien Haas.[6]
Topp played recurring character Matt Bradley on ABC's The Goldbergs in seasons 4–10 from 2017–2023, and reprised his role in a cameo in the spin off series Schooled.[7]
