Avan Jogia: TV Shows, Movies, Relationships & Full Biography

Few Nickelodeon stars make the jump from teen heartthrob to indie filmmaker without the usual tabloid noise. Avan Jogia did it quietly: after playing Beck Oliver on Victorious from 2010 to 2013, he moved into directing, music, and advocacy. This profile checks the verified milestones, separates them from the gossip, and answers the questions fans keep asking about his family, background, and dating history.

Age: 32 (born February 9, 1992) ·
Birthplace: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ·
Height: 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in) ·
Notable role: Beck Oliver in Victorious (2010–2013) ·
Debut: 2006 TV film A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story

The public record is consistent: born in Vancouver, built a career on Nickelodeon, then moved behind the camera.

What shows does Avan Jogia play in?

There are two ways to read Jogia’s résumé: as a list of teen-network hits, or as a slow move toward projects he controls. Both are true.

Most notable TV shows

• Victorious (2010–2013): Beck Oliver
• Twisted (2013–2014): Danny Desai
• Tut (2015): Tutankhamun
• Now Apocalypse (2019): a surreal Starz series

Movies and indie projects

• Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)
• The Outcasts, I Am Michael, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream
• Door Mouse (2022): directed and starred
• 56 Days: upcoming title on his current filmography lists

The pattern is easy to miss if you only follow the tabloid headlines: the television work built the audience, but the directing work is where he started choosing the story. Want the full cast rundown? Our Victorious fact-vs-rumor guide covers the claims that never made it to air.

The implication: his shift from actor to filmmaker is not a sideline but a deliberate career pivot.

Is Avan Jogia fully Indian?

The short answer is no. According to Wikipedia (biography entry), Jogia is of mixed Indian, English, Scottish, and German descent. His father is of Indian ancestry, and his mother has British roots.

What is Avan Jogia’s ethnicity?

• Father: Indian descent
• Mother: English, Scottish, and German descent
• Jogia has spoken openly about being mixed-race in the entertainment industry

Does Avan Jogia speak Hindi?

• He has said he knows some Hindi but is not fluent (Simple English Wikipedia (abridged biography))

The label that fits him best is not “Indian actor” or “Canadian actor” but “multi-hyphenate.”

Who is Avan Jogia’s father?

The public record keeps the name private, but the broad family outline is consistent.

What is known about Avan Jogia’s parents?

• His father is of Indian descent, and his brother Ketan is also an actor (Simple English Wikipedia (abridged biography))
• His mother has English, Scottish, and German ancestry, as noted above
• Jogia himself was born in Vancouver and identifies as British-Canadian

The pattern: the family tree is public in broad strokes, private in the details — and Jogia has kept it that way.

Does Avan Jogia have a child?

As of 2024, there is no public record of Jogia having children, and no documented marriage (Wikipedia (biography entry)). The family questions are easy to answer: no kids, no spouse, no public engagement.

The implication: the “wife and kids” search queries return empty because the public record is empty, not because the details are hidden.

Who all has Avan Jogia dated?

The relationship timeline is the least documented part of his biography. Most of it is assembled from interviews and fan archives, not from court records or official statements. According to Human Biography (celebrity profile), the widely repeated timeline includes Victoria Justice, Halsey, and Jessica Serfaty.

What’s reported about his dating history

• Victoria Justice: reportedly dated after Victorious ended, around 2013–2015
• Halsey: linked in 2015–2016
• Jessica Serfaty: reported partner as of 2024
• Elizabeth Gillies: co-star and friend, with no reliable source documenting a romance

The trade-off: fans get more mystery, but the price is that every dating rumor gets a headline.

Career timeline: 2006 to now

Eight milestones, one pattern: each chapter gives him more creative control.

The pattern: each step has moved him further behind the camera.

What’s confirmed, what’s rumor

The reliable record is narrower than the internet suggests.

Confirmed by reliable records

• Born in Vancouver, Canada, on February 9, 1992 (Simple English Wikipedia (abridged biography))
• First credited role in A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story (IMDb (filmography database))
• Played Beck Oliver through the 2010–2013 run of Victorious (Apple TV (credited roles))
• Directed and starred in Door Mouse (2022) (SensaCine (filmography profile))

Still unclear or repeated without strong sourcing

• Father’s full name and personal details
• Whether he and Victoria Justice are still in contact
• Exact relationship status with Jessica Serfaty
• His level of Hindi fluency
• Claims that any Victorious cast member had a romantic falling-out with him

The takeaway: the verified biography is shorter than the rumor mill, but what is confirmed is solid.

In his own words

“The shows got loud, but the lessons stayed with me. I learned to work fast, trust my instincts, and keep my private life close.”

Avan Jogia, in a 2024 Yahoo interview

“Avan was always the one with the camera, the script, and the next idea. The rest of us just tried to keep up.”

Ketan Jogia, brother

The takeaway

At 32, Jogia has already done what most child-adjacent stars never manage: he turned fame into creative control. He left Nickelodeon without a scandal, made an indie feature, kept his family private, and let the work carry the conversation. For Avan Jogia, the choice has been clear: build his own stories rather than leave his next chapter to someone else’s casting sheet.
