## History

### Early Life

Anton was born in 2008 in Toronto, Canada to his Slovenian-born parents. He attended daycare in the downtown area at the age of 1 until he was 3 years old. Anton also attended an elementary school in the downtown area until he moved to Los Angeles, California at the age of 5.

In July 2014, Anton and his family moved to Los Angeles, California. Anton eventually signed up to become a TV actor after he knew that Los Angeles is home to the celebrities. However, he didn't want to be like the most famous celebrities, instead he wanted to become an all-time actor as a child. His parents told him that he had to wait until he was 7 years old, the age when most children become actors.

In August 2014, Anton and his family went to the United States Consulate General in Los Angeles to serve as an American representative and to promote American investments and other important stuff. Anton made a decision on keeping his Canadian background as a citizen as he and his family became dual citizen residents after moving to Los Angeles from Toronto.

### Career

In early 2016, officials confirmed that Anton became an actor. His first TV show to appear onscreen was "The Little Handsome Dude". He portrayed the role of Logan Yates until the TV show's finale episode. After The Little Handsome Dude finished its official airing in March 2016, Anton eventually stepped into Gage Media's primetime show, Bloody Teenagers, to portray the role of wicked Freddy Moore.

In February 2020, Anton had an interview with *The Ellen Degeneres Show* about Bloody Teenagers' 20th anniversary special. Anton stated that Freddy really loves his uncle King Moore (portrayed by Jonathan Mansi). Anton also stated that Freddy was cuter when his character was a baby. Anton was one of the notable Bloody Teenagers actors to interview with Ellen Degeneres on the show. Anton also shared a story of when Freddy and King were on a bonding relationship. Anton said even though King is one of the dangerous Bloody Teenagers villains, he said that King is not evil towards Freddy. Other Bloody Teenagers actors such as Lawrence Tatum, Julian Trenton, Tricia Castillo, and Jackson Schmidt also appeared on *The Ellen Degeneres Show*. As part of Bloody Teenagers' 20th anniversary, Anton and other actors/actresses have all received a special Emmy award for each one, prior to the *2020 Primetime Emmy Awards*.

Anton won many Primetime Emmy Awards since his debut as Freddy Moore in early 2016. His first Primetime Emmy Award was Best Performance of a Child Actor. Anton was said that he won a lot of awards for the best performance of an actor, which he won since 2019. Anton's first Primetime Emmy award with the Bloody Teenagers cast was the Outstanding Drama Series in September 2020. The cast of Bloody Teenagers received their first Emmy Award for the Outstanding Drama Series since the first episode of the drama was aired in February 2000.

## Storyline with the Hyper Dudes and Funny Girls

When Anton transitioned from elementary school to middle school, he made friends with Francis Rodriguez-Castillo on their first day of grade 6. Anton and Francis introduced each other. Francis wouldn't believe that Anton became an actor at a young age since his arrival in Los Angeles after moving out of Toronto. Anton told Francis that he was born in Toronto, as a Canadian Slavic Hyper Dude. Francis told Anton that he was born in Orlando, Florida and moved out of Orlando at the age of 5.

Anton made more friends with 5 other dudes, named Jackson Doyle, Leo Guerrero, Javier Vasquez, Miles Jenkins, and Benjamin Velasquez. Eventually, Anton, Francis, Jackson, Leo, Javier, Miles, and Ben made friends with the Funny Girls in the middle of the fall semester on their first year at Palms Middle School. Their relationships between themselves are being best friends.

In March 2020, Anton told a story about Bloody Teenagers' 20th anniversary special interview on *The Ellen Degeneres Show*. Anton told Francis, Jackson, Javier, and Leo about the special story that took place in early February. Anton told them that his favorite part was talking about his character Freddy Moore's bonding relationship with uncle King Moore. Francis told Anton that he watched *The Ellen Degeneres Show* and heard about Freddy and King's good relationship throughout the Bloody Teenagers series. Jackson told Anton that his favourite part while he was watching Bloody Teenagers cast on *The Ellen Degeneres Show* was when actor Julian Trenton talked about his character Duke Moore's romantic relationships with his wife Chrissy Marquez Moore and girlfriend Hunter Murphy. Jackson also mentioned to Anton that he watched one of the Bloody Teenagers season 19 episodes that contained a scene of when Chrissy caught Duke and Hunter making love on the bed.

After Anton mentioned the highlight about Duke's romantic relationships, Minerva was surprised that she watched *The Ellen Degeneres Show* because of Julian Trenton's most memorable moment throughout the series. Usually Francis tells anyone every time they mention the romantic scenes, he says "NO GAGEGAGE" to some of the dudes whoever is chatting using Microsoft Teams. All the Hyper Dudes and Funny Girls were surprised and happy about Anton and the other Bloody Teenagers actors interviewing with Ellen Degeneres on *The Ellen Degeneres Show* during the primetime's 20th anniversary. Anton informed to Francis, Jackson, Leo, Javier, Miles, Ben, and other Hyper Dudes that if any Bloody Teenagers episode that contains a scene of Freddy and King, they would all enjoy the episodes with cuteness while watching any of the scenes. That was because Anton mentioned that Freddy and King love each other as nephew and uncle. Anton told all the Hyper Dudes that King would always be Freddy's loving uncle throughout the Bloody Teenagers storylines.

In September 2020, Anton was surprised that Francis started a dating relationship with Christina De Leon. Anton told Francis that he was too young to start a dating relationship. They were just in grade 7. Anton suggested to Francis that he and Christina could start a dating relationship on their first year of high school.
In August 2021, Anton and the other Hyper Dudes made friends with Luis Sevillage. Luis' nickname is Shomorgan and he preferred to be called Shomorgan for others, especially the Funny Girls. Anton asked Shomorgan which city he came from. Shomorgan replied that he came from Mermaid Beach, Daytona. For many reasons, both Anton and Francis love to call Luis "Shomorgan" because the nickname is really funny. Jackson, Leo, Javier, and other friends also like to call Luis "Shomorgan".

In April 2022, Anton and the other Hyper Dudes with the Funny Girls all left Los Angeles for their Fathers East Coast trip with the other grade 8 students of Palms Middle School. Before the East Coast trip ends, Jackson celebrated his 14th birthday. While they celebrated Jackson's 14th birthday, Anton, Francis, Leo, Javier, and Miles had their different meals from McDonald's. Along with the Funny Girls, they used Microsoft Teams as they sleep separately at a hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. Jackson sent a message for Anton, the other Hyper Dudes, and the Funny Girls to guess what he had for his birthday. Few of the Funny Girls guessed Yoshinoya, McDonald's, and Panda Express. Jackson's real answer was "Jack in the Box" because the fast food name is dedicated to his nickname.

After their East Coast trip finished, Anton uploaded a video of the trip on YouTube and sent a link to the video through Microsoft Teams.

In June 9, 2022, the Hyper Dudes and Funny Girls talk about their middle school graduation. Anton said he had Bloody Teenagers' season 22 episode 21 airing during the day they graduate middle school. Francis said that he would at least see Anton appearing as Freddy on Bloody Teenagers season 22 episode 21 as most of the Hyper Dudes were not about to see each other until high school. Anton mentioned to Leo and Javier that they would always see him on every Bloody Teenagers episode after he learned that both of them were enrolling at Beverly Hills High School. Anton notified that Bloody Teenagers episodes air on Gage Media every Friday, and sometimes not airing during the winter months a few times like what other primetime drama TV shows do.

During the New Year's Day 2023, Anton, Francis, Leo, Javier, Jackson, Shomorgan, and other of the friends looked over their Palms Middle School graduation class photo. Clara Dundas remembered that her older cousin named Courtney Dundas had a mosaic template for her class of 2021 photo while Anton and the Hyper Dudes looked over their photo to find themselves on the class of 2022 picture. Anton, Francis, and Jackson were quite sad that they missed Leo and Javier since they transitioned into different high schools.

While the Hyper Dudes and Funny Girls talked about their class of 2022 photo, Anton was curious about the chats related to the Gage Media daytime drama Ducks in the Pond after Jackson sent a link to a YouTube video about the romantic scene in an episode aired in 1985. Anton admitted that Francis was not a big fan of watching romantic scenes although they are 14 years old. Anton and Francis were on a private Microsoft Teams chat, and Anton informed to Francis that he would eventually watch these types of scenes, like fight, violent, or romantic scenes when they are more mature enough (i.e. 16 years of age or older). Other of the Hyper Dudes were surprised about Francis' reaction about romantic scenes after Anton admitted it to Francis.
