Dhar Mann’s latest episode, titled ‘Kid Won’t Go to Sleep At Night, He Lives To Regret It’ is out, starring child actor Shaun Dixon as Jay (aka ‘Kid’), Shauntè Massard as his mother, Jacob Childress as Sam and Jordan Cann as his brother.
Dixon has appeared in at least 27 episodes of Dhar Mann, to date, including this one.
He has a handful of other on-screen credits too, but his work with Dhar Mann Studios, located in Los Angeles, California, is probably his most famous.
How old is the child actor, and what do we know about Shaun Dixon’s on-screen roles besides those written and produced by Dhar Mann?
Meet Shaun Dixon: Age and career so far of Dhar Mann child actor
Born April 20, 2009, Shaun Dixon’s age at time of writing is 13.
He made his acting debut in 2020 at the age of 10 in the short film Bknott: Sharks And Narcs – it came out before his 11th birthday – meaning Shaun Dixon was a year younger than Ryan Gosling when he made his debut, and two years younger than Natalie Portman when she made hers, in 1994’s Leon.
But Dixon has been busy.
The following year, he played Finn in TV miniseries T-Rex Ranch Dinosaur Adventures and Shaun in Velvet Jesus, plus a handful of episodes of Dhar Mann’s miniseries. 2022 has been even busier, with roles in A Black Lady Sketch Show, The Neighborhood, End Of The Road, Young Dylan and Kid’s Crew.

How old is Jay compared to Dhar Mann’s other child characters?
Shaun Dixon, age 13 but 12 when he started appearing in Dhar Mann’s web series, has played more than one character, but he most often plays Jay.
