Shayne Topp

Shayne Robert Topp (born September 14, 1991) is an American actor and comedian most known for his work on Smosh.

Shayne was born on September 14, 1991, in Florida, to Catherine Topp (née Person) and Robert Royal Topp, a fighter pilot.

Topp also has experience in theater performances, starring in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever at Wonderworks Theatre Company and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory at Highland Lakes Theatre (in the title role).

Additionally, he has appeared in commercials.

He went on to win the Jury Prize at the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival for his performance in Dear Lemon Lima.

In 2012, Topp appeared in the Disney Channel show So Random! alongside his now fellow Smosh member Damien Haas.

Topp was also nominated for "Exciting New Face (Male)" at the 2014 Young Hollywood Awards.

He is also known for his roles as Shayne Zabo on Disney Channel's So Random!, and as Matt Bradley in ABC's The Goldbergs. He has been a member of Smosh since 2015, making his debut as the first referee of the Smosh Summer Games.

Originally deciding to move away in 2015 due to a lack of work, he was convinced by fellow Smosh member Noah Grossman to audition for the cast of Smosh.

Topp auditioned and was added to the main Smosh cast in 2015.

Topp played recurring character Matt Bradley on ABC's The Goldbergs from 2017 until the show's end in 2023 and a cameo in the spin off series Schooled.

In late 2018, Smosh's parent company, Defy Media, went bankrupt; Topp and the rest of the cast still continued to make videos.

In early 2019 it was announced that Smosh had been purchased by Mythical Entertainment.

As of June 2023, Smosh has been purchased from Mythical Entertainment by co-founders, Ian Hecox, and Anthony Padilla.
