Taylor Swift may be dominating the entertainment world, but she’s not the only Swift who has taken on roles in the industry. Taylor’s younger brother Austin Swift has also dipped his foot into the creative world. According to People, he attended the University of Notre Dame and studied film. It was in college that Austin began to dabble in acting. It seems that Austin didn’t expect to venture into acting, but when the opportunity fell into his lap, he knew he couldn’t pass it up. “I’m pretty reserved in most circumstances, so [acting] never seemed like it would be a good fit,” he shared with People during a 2018 interview. “but I kind of got thrust into it and realized that it could be an opportunity to be creative.”
Austin got his big break in acting with a major A-list celebrity in 2016, as he starred in the film “I.T.” alongside Pierce Brosnan. From then on, Austin continued to land a few more acting gigs, including the film “Live By Night” and the television series “Still the King.” Things seemed to be going well for Austin in the industry, but he hasn’t worked in another role for the past several years. His last acting gig was in 2019 when he starred in the movie “Braking for Whales.”
Although Austin might have put his acting career on hold, that doesn’t mean he has completely given up on the entertainment industry.
