Dax Rey is a child actor who has been playing various roles in Hollywood since he first starred as Milo in a short Exercise Class back in 2019.

However, most fans would likely recognize him as the young Chidi Anagonye (adult Chidi played by William Jackson Harper) in The Good Place and as Tyler in Chicago Fire's season 11 episode 16 titled Acting Up.

Rey has also portrayed other background characters in TV shows like 2020's Pump and 2022's The Good Fight as Troy Dawes. As for movies, Rey played the Sick Boy in 2020's Unicorn and 8-year-old Cory in 2021's Swan Song.

Quite recently, she was picked for the role of the Horse's (Zackary Momoh) son, Luke, in Giancarlo Esposito's Parish series, which you can check out below:

Dax Rey is Luke in Giancarlo Esposito's Parish Series

This time, Dax Rey plays the role of Luke, aka the 12-year-old son of the Horse who usually hangs out more with his uncle, Zenzo Tongai (played by Ivan Mbakop).

While Zenzo is prepared to take matters into his own hands, even if it means spilling a little blood, he doesn't want his nephew Luke to get in the same trouble.

However, despite that, Zenzo doesn't fail to teach Luke about how Earth is filled with potential dangers and then trains him how to defend himself — through brutality, that is...

Meanwhile, what can we expect from the Parish series? The show centers on Giancarlo Esposito's main character, Gray, a seemingly innocent taxi driver who got himself involved with a Zimbabwean gangster's shady deals of exploiting undocumented immigrants.
