Jogia was born on Feb. 9, 1992 in Canada to parents Wendy and Mike Jogia. His father is of British Indian descent and his mother is English, German and Welsh.

He had his first acting role in 2006

Jogia’s first role was in the TV movie “A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story,” released in 2006. In it, he portrayed Danny Araujo, the younger brother of Gwen, a teenage transgender woman.

The role led to parts in The CW series “Aliens in American,” “Devil’s Diary,” and the Nickelodeon movie “Gym Teacher: The Movie.”

He would soon become a staple at the teen network, starring in the 2009 film “Spectacular!” as Tajid.

He starred in "Victorious"

Jogia became a teen heartthrob when he starred as Beck Oliver in “Victorious.” The Nickelodeon show starred Victoria Justice, as well as Ariana Grande, Daniella Monet, Elizabeth Gillies and Matt Bennett, among others.

The show premiered in March and ran for four seasons, ending in 2013. In it, he would also sing in the show’s soundtrack.

In a 2023 interview with Teen Vogue, Jogia revealed that his Nickelodeon time was complicated.

“I don’t look back on (Nickelodeon) fondly. But I do think it’s interesting to see just what it means to people. It’s touching, but also it’s out of your control,” he told the magazine. “I feel like I represent sadness for people because they can sort of look at me and be like, ‘Oh, right. I remember when I used to be young and things weren’t so complicated.’ It’s like, I represent an uncomplicated time. Sometimes I think that I have a strong desire to keep that image safe for them.”

He led the ABC Family show "Twisted"

After appearing in several other Nickelodeon projects, Jogia starred as Danny Desai in the ABC Family mystery-thriller "Twisted."

The show centered on 16-year-old Danny, who was released from juvenile detention after he was charged with killing his aunt when he was 11. Trying to get his life back, he then becomes the prime suspect in a murder case.

Jogia led the show for one season, 19 episodes, from 2013 to 2014, acting alongside Maddie Hasson, Kylie Bunbury, Denise Richards and Kimberly Quinn.

He has a steady acting career

The drama thriller is about a comic-book creator who works at a burlesque club who enlists the help of a coworker to solve the disappearance of young women in their group.

“This was born out of not feeling very much agency in the film industry, especially as an actor of color,” he told Teen Vogue. “I was looking to find parts that I felt like I could dig a little deeper into as an actor and train myself to give good performances and improve as an actor. Good parts are hard enough to get ahold of, you know, regardless of (diversity).”

Adding, “And then you ask, how many films looking for a brown man are made a year? Of those roles, how many see me for that part? So I was frustrated and I wanted to find agency, so I started writing. This script, I wrote the first draft within two weeks.”

He's also a musician
