Avan Jogia: From Victorious to Indie Films

If you grew up on Nickelodeon in the early 2010s, Avan Jogia was the unbothered heartthrob who made Beck Oliver look effortless. But the teenager cast in 2010 has spent the years since building a quieter, weirder career — indie films, a Starz series, a poetry-and-prose collection, and a feature directing debut in 2023 (People). This is the verified version of his bio, separated from the tabloid noise that still follows him.

Born: February 9, 1992 · Birthplace: Vancouver, Canada · Known for: Beck Oliver on Victorious · Years active: 2006–present

Who is Avan Jogia?

The short version: Jogia is a Canadian actor who became a Nickelodeon star in his late teens and then spent a decade deliberately refusing to stay in that lane. The longer version starts in Vancouver.

Early life and background

• He is of Indian descent on his father’s side, a detail he has discussed while talking about growing up biracial in Canada, according to the biographical profile on Simple English Wikipedia
• His early interests ran toward acting, music, and writing — the same three lanes he works in now

Vancouver is the anchor: a Canadian kid who left for Hollywood and kept choosing smaller, character-driven projects over star vehicles.

Career beginnings

• Early credits ran from a 2006 television debut — A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story — through Aliens in America (2007) and the sci-fi series Caprica (2009–2010) (IMDb)
• He also stacked Nickelodeon-adjacent TV movies including Gym Teacher: The Movie (2008) and Spectacular! (2009), according to Simple English Wikipedia

There was no single breakout — just a pile of reps. Then Victorious changed everything.

Personal life overview

• Jogia keeps his private life mostly private; the documented relationships are covered later in this article
• He has used his platform to talk about mental health and activism

The pattern: Jogia’s identity was set by Victorious, but his bio always had more range than the teen-show label. The next decade showed what he did with it.

Is Avan Jogia still acting?

Yes — and the resume since 2013 reads like a deliberate escape from teen-idol typecasting.

Recent film and television projects

• He took the title role in the 2015 miniseries Tut, opposite Ben Kingsley, according to the career profile on Human Biography
• He played Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021), according to the filmography profile on The Famous Info

The mix says more than any single project: fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and a video-game adaptation. Jogia kept accepting varied roles instead of chasing one lane.

Writing and music career

• In September 2019, his music-and-writing project Saint Ivory released the poetry-and-prose collection Mixed Feelings; in 2023 he made his feature directing debut with the thriller Door Mouse (People)

This is the part of his career that gets less attention than it should: Jogia didn’t just pivot to indie films — he started making his own work, on paper and behind the camera.

Comments on Victorious and past roles

• Jogia has called his Victorious years a mix of opportunity and pressure
• The receipts are his own words, gathered in the quotes section below

What this means: the career after Nickelodeon is a slow, deliberate build — still acting, still writing, and now directing on his own terms.

Who all has Avan Jogia dated?

His love life generates more search volume than his filmography, but the documented record is short. Two relationships dominate it: Jogia reportedly dated Zoey Deutch from 2012 to 2017 and later dated singer Halsey (People).

Relationship with Halsey

• The Halsey chapter is the one most fans ask about; People’s profile treats it as the most widely documented relationship of his adult life
• They are not married, and no reliable reporting has claimed otherwise

The “married to Halsey” rumor is a good example of how Jogia’s search footprint outruns the facts.

Rumored relationship with Miley Cyrus

• Rumors have linked Jogia to Miley Cyrus for years, but neither star has publicly confirmed a relationship
• The speculation mostly lives in gossip headlines and fan communities, not verified reporting

Dating within the Victorious cast

• By his own account, Jogia did not date anyone from the Victorious cast — the on-screen flirtation stayed on screen

The trade-off: Jogia gives fans almost nothing to feed on. A short, sourced dating history beats tabloid sprawl — but the rumor mill fills the vacuum anyway.

Is Avan Jogia still friends with Victoria Justice?

Yes — and this is one friendship that survived a Nickelodeon ending without turning into a headline feud.

Post-Victorious friendship

• Jogia and Victoria Justice stayed close after the show ended, and the public record stays friendly; the quotes section below captures the receipts

Public statements about Victoria Justice

• Supportive public comments, not drama — the consistent pattern since 2013
• No public falling-out has ever been documented

The implication: the “cast drama” template doesn’t fit every former child star. Sometimes the boring answer — they’re still friends — is the accurate one.

Is Avan Jogia a millionaire?

Probably, by most estimates — but the internet’s favorite number deserves a warning label.

Estimated net worth

• A widely repeated figure puts Jogia’s net worth around $3 million
• No financial disclosure or reliable outlet has confirmed that number

Income sources

• Acting: a Victorious salary plus film and TV roles including Zombieland: Double Tap and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
• Writing and music: the Mixed Feelings collection and album
• Directing: Door Mouse (2023)

The catch: Jogia has almost certainly made seven figures over a decade of steady work. But “millionaire” is an inference, not a documented line item.
