Life

Finley, already very extraverted as a child , was taken by his parents to an acting class near his Texan hometown at the age of three . It was here that Finley was lucky enough to be discovered by a scout who hired him for a Shell- branded commercial .

This also made Hollywood aware of him, so that he was allowed to appear in two films at the same time in 1993 : In Perfect World at the side of Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood and Gilbert Grape - Somewhere in Iowa together with Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio .

From 1994 Finley also appeared in television series in front of the camera. His most famous television role was that of Tanner Sloan , David Hasselhoff 's adoptive son in Baywatch - The Lifeguards of Malibu .

Since then, the film and television offers have not stopped. In 1999 he was even discussed for the role of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace , but was beaten by Jake Lloyd .

One of the last pieces of information about Finley was that he was supposed to start college in Moorpark in the fall of 2005 . New information on Finley says he allegedly dropped out of college early.
