Originally living on the East Coast, first in Vermont, then in Georgia, Field gravitated to the stage from an early age, performing in musical theater and dance productions by three years old.

He went on to star in commercials for Fox and McDonald's, appear alongside baseball star Ichiro in a Japanese commercial, and play the haunting lead in Placebo's music video "Song to Say Goodbye."
Field then became recognized for his dramatic roles on such hit TV shows as Without a Trace (2002) and Cold Case (2003). But most notable was his series-regular role on ABC's critically acclaimed Pushing Daisies (2007)-a portrayal that earned him a Young Artist Award nomination in 2008.

As an adult, Field is pursuing his passion for music, as the lead singer and guitarist of the three-piece, Los Angeles-based rock band Fencer.16 - Actor
