Relatives

Andrew Lawrence (born Andrew James Mignogna; January 12, 1988) is an American actor, filmmaker, podcaster and singer. He is known for his roles as Andy Roman in Brotherly Love (starring with his real life brothers Joey and Matthew) and T.J. Detweiler in Recess. Outside of his acting and music career, Lawrence made his directorial debut with the 2020 film The Office Mix-Up.

Early life

Lawrence was born on January 12, 1988, in Abington, Pennsylvania, to Donna Lynn (née Shaw), a personal talent manager and former elementary school teacher, and Joseph Lawrence Mignogna Jr., an insurance broker. He is of Italian, English, and Scottish descent. His family's stage surname was changed to "Lawrence" from "Mignogna" before he was born. Lawrence is the youngest brother of actors Joey Lawrence and Matthew Lawrence.

Career

He started in show business at age 3 and made his professional acting debut in the television series Blossom, as Little Joey. In 1998, he became the voice of T.J. Detweiler in Disney's animated television series, Recess replacing Ross Malinger after voicing the character for two seasons. He would reprise the role again in the feature film and in several direct-to-video films, including Recess Christmas: Miracle on Third Street and Recess: All Growed Down. He has also done voice overs for video game characters, such as Pac in Battlefield 4 and Nick Ramos in Dead Rising 3. In November 2016, Lawrence released his debut EP, Kings March. That same year, Lawrence started a band with his brothers, Joey and Matt, named Still 3. The trio released its debut single, "Lose Myself," in February 2017.

In 2023, Andrew launched a podcast called "Brotherly Love Podcast" with his brothers Joey and Matthew. It was launched through PodCo, a podcast studio launched by actress Christy Carlson Romano and focused on rewatches of completed television series by their former actors.
