Iain Armitage (born 2008-07-15) is an American actor known for his early start in both live-action and voice acting. He was born in Savannah, Georgia, U.S., and raised in Arlington, Virginia, into a family with theatrical and performance backgrounds. His father is Scottish actor Euan Morton and his mother is theatre producer Lee Armitage; he is the grandson of former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Lee Armitage.
From a young age, Armitage ran a YouTube channel "Iain Loves Theatre," where he reviewed musicals and stage productions; that early exposure helped him transition into screen roles. He made his TV debut in 2017 with an episode of Law & Order: SVU and that same year began appearing as Ziggy Chapman in Big Little Lies. In March 2017 he was cast as the lead in Young Sheldon, a spin-off prequel to The Big Bang Theory, a role he held through 2024.
In addition to his television work, Armitage has done voice acting: he voiced young Shaggy Rogers in Scoob! (2020) and Chase in PAW Patrol: The Movie (2021). Beyond acting, since Young Sheldon ended in May 2024, he has focused on personal interests including aviation; he obtained a student pilot's license and aims for a private license. He has also been vocal about supporting arts funding and remains active in auditioning for new roles.
