photographer that works for Vogue, and his mother is an Opera director - it's no wonder he got in front of the camera and on-stage. His older brother Warren is a film editor, and his sister Sophie is a photographer like their Dad. His father's ancestry is Russian Jewish, and his mother's is English, Norwegian and German. Kind of explains his great one-of-a-kind name! Ansel started his acting career early on, taking acting classes at age 12 and starring in a high school production of Guys and Dolls.

Shailene and Ansel must be BFFs, because they spent a lot of time together, co-starring in two different Y.A. book to movie adaptations. Instead of brother and sister, they play sick teens who are madly in love in the heart-wrenching film The Fault in Our Stars (by John Green), which came out in June 2014.
