2015–present: Beginning
At fourteen, Byrne began posting original videos onto his YouTube channel. With the videos developing, a local producer/director approached him about doing work for a web series of hers. While working on the webseries, Byrne met an actor who connected him with a manager. He went through several auditions before getting one for the reccuring role in ABC's Scandal. After four auditions he was cast. In April 2015 it was reported that Byrne had signed with Wiki Channel.
