Birth date controversy

Earles's birth year has been the subject of conflicting reports. He was 29 years old in January 2007, according to USA Today, which corresponds to a birth year of 1977.[5] However, Earles's résumé stated a birth date of April 26, 1985.[6] Yet, a story in the Houston Chronicle in July 2007 stated that he was 19 years old.[7] A story in the Associated press in April 2009 stated that he was 32 on his birthday of April 26.[1]

He guest starred twice on Phil of the Future, as Grady Spaggett, an advanced math student. Earles was in the 2006 Disney Channel Games on the Blue Team and in the 2007 and 2008 Disney Channel Games on the Red team.

Earles played a nerdy card gamer who was friends with the character Brian Miller on the sitcom Still Standing. In 2004, he appeared in the movie National Treasure as Thomas Gates, ancestor of Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage). In 2005, Earles played Ernie Kaplowitz in the movie American Pie Presents: Band Camp. Earles also plays Hunter, the android protector of the main character, in the new Disney XD series Aaron Stone.[8] He also voiced Spudnik in the talking dog movie, Space Buddies.[8]
