Andy Lawrence life and biography

Andrew James Lawrence is an American actor. He is sometimes credited as Andy Lawrence or Andy J. Lawrence.

First known for the fame of his older brothers, Joey (Gimme A Break and Blossom) and Matthew (Boy Meets World), this Pennsylvania native started his career at a very young age.

He began acting at the age of three when he guest-starred on the series Walter and Emily with Cloris Leachman and Brian Keith which also starred his brother Matthew. Three years later he became a regular playing Tom Arnold's son in the comedy Tom.

In 1995 he and his brothers landed a television series together, called Brotherly Love. Although the series failed to garner much of an audience and lasted only two years, Andy was noticed and started getting work on feature films. Making his feature film debut playing John Travolta's son in White Man's Burden (1995), the film was soon followed up by parts in telefilms and another feature, Bean (1997) in 1997.

Andy then started to do voice work for Disney's Recess. A popular Saturday morning television show, he voiced the leader T.J. of a group of school buddies. But when he wasn't providing the voice for T.J. he continued to increase his acting resume with films like jack frost (1998) starring Michael Keaton, and Family Tree (2000) as well as more telefilms such as Horse Sense, The Other Me and Ship Shape. Most recently, he appeared with Isaiah Washington in the independent film The Least of These (2008).

Andy lives in Los Angeles, CA.
