Avan Jogia was brought up by his father, who has ancestry of Gujarati ethnicity, and his mother; his older brother is Ketan, a music producer. Avan attended Killarney Secondary School, but he decided to leave in order to pursue an acting career.
Avan`s career actually began when he was still in high school, securing several small roles, and after these initial successes, he moved to Los Angeles in order to pursue his acting career. He made his screen debut in the film “A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story” (2006), with Mercedes Ruehl and JD Pardo in lead roles. After his debut, he featured in the film “Devil’s Diary” in 2007, and the same year he appeared in the TV series “Aliens In America”. Little by little, Avan`s career began to improve, which only increased his net worth. By 2010, he showed his acting skills in such productions as “Gym Teacher: The Movie” (2008), “Spectacular!” (2009), “Caprica” (2009-2010), among others.
He continued successfully into the second decade of the 2000s, taking his career to a whole new level, as he began to feature in more recognizable roles; he started with an appearance in the film “Triple Dog”, and he was selected for the role of Beck Oliver in the TV series “Victorious” (2010-2013). Afterwards, Avan appeared in the film “Rags” (2012), and starred in “Finding Hope Nee” (2014), which further increased his net worth. He was selected for the role of Dani in the film “Twisted” (2013), which was later made into a TV series under the same name, in which Avan reprised his role. Most recently, he appeared as King Tutankhamun in the TV series “Tut”, alongside Sir Ben Kingsley in 2015, and he will also appear in films that are yet to be released, “The Year of Spectacular Men”, “The Drowning”, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and “The Outskirts”, which will also increase his net worth.
When it comes to speak about his personal life, Avan Jogia has apparently been dating actress Zoey Deutch since 2011. He is also known for co-founding Straight But Not Narrow (SBNN), an online organization which supports the LGBT population. In spare time, he enjoys playing the piano and the guitar.

[on what he loves most] Art, my girlfriend and cheeseburgers.
2
[on his style] I think I've always liked [the style of] musicians. I've always liked Iggy Pop and older musicians. Iggy Pop, the Rolling Stones, stuff like that.

'Twisted' is similar to 'Pretty Little Liars' in that it's about trying to find out who did it, but it's more about the human relationships between characters and the strain that things can put on them. It's also a little bit of a social commentary piece, because it covers very timely issues.
4
I have a lot of disrespect for people who cheat. I feel like if you're in a position in a relationship where you want to see other people, and the opportunity to cheat comes up, don't.
5
Apathy in general; people who are not standing up for what they believe in because somebody's got a louder mouth than them; it doesn't make any sense.
6
If I've been dating someone for, say, five months, and she cheats on me, I don't think it would be worth it. I'm not committed enough to the situation to give her a second chance.
7
You get given an opportunity, and that is the jumping board; from there you have to build your own path.
8
With voice overs... you're not thinking about the camera. So your voice becomes this thing that you can manipulate. And depending on the character you're doing, it's all concentration on your voice.
9
I want to go behind the scenes as well as on screen. I think you have to make your own destiny in this world.
10
I had to learn a lot on 'Victorious' because I had never done multi-camera before. It's like music: You need to be on it, and there's no room for subtleties.
11
I want to make stuff. I want to make movies and direct stuff and produce stuff and write stuff.
12
I always do whatever is best for the character.
13
I grew up in Vancouver, which is a pretty liberal, gay Mecca of the West coast. There's San Francisco, and then there's Vancouver.
