Kayden Alexander Koshelev

Kayden discovered his passion for acting at a young age, debuting in his first television show at the age of 7, playing the young John Patriot, alongside Terry O'Quinn, for Amazon's Patriot. Following that role, he appeared in Chicago Med and Shameless alongside William H. Macy. Most recently, he worked with Director Joel Coen in The Tradgedy of Macbeth, and landed a Co-Star role in Diary of a Future President. Born in Burbank, CA, then moving to Chicago, he started modeling for Land of Nod, Kohls and many others before making the transition to acting at the age of 5. He quickly gained much success, landing many national and regional commercials for Sara Lee, Kellogg's, Kraft, St Louis Zoo, Whirlpool and more. When he's not on camera, Kayden loves being on stage! He booked his first professional Musical Theatre Production at age 7 in Seussical, and most recently could be seen on the Marriott Theatre stage, playing Oliver in Oliver! By Directors and Producers, Kayden has been referred to as a "true professional and pleasure," a "kind and supportive cast-mate," and is known for taking and applying direction quickly. He loves what he does and has a true passion for acting and performing. When he is not acting, Kayden loves to take hip hop and tap dance classes and work on his craft through acting/voiceover/vocal workshops and private lessons. A gifted student, Kayden's favorite subjects and extracurriculars include math, chess, coding, PE and drama, of course!
