Life and career
Martell was born on January 4, 2003,[2] the son of Wes Lieberher, a Los Angeles-based Executive Chef, and Angela Teresa Martell.[3] His maternal grandmother, Chisun Martell, is Korean.[3] He grew up in South Philadelphia and in 2011, when he was eight years old, he moved to Los Angeles.[4] In the first six years of his career, he was credited almost exclusively under his family name, Jaeden Lieberher. In 2019, he switched to Jaeden Martell.
Martell's first acting role was in a commercial for Hot Wheels. He appeared in several other commercials after that, including Google, Moneysupermarket.com, Liberty Mutual, Hyundai (for the 2013 Super Bowl), Verizon Fios and General Electric.[5][6] His first major feature film role was in 2014's St. Vincent, where he starred alongside Bill Murray. Murray later recommended Martell to Cameron Crowe for the director's 2015 film, Aloha.[4] He played the title character in the 2017 film The Book of Henry.[4] Martell received further recognition for his starring role as Bill Denbrough in the 2017 supernatural horror film It and its 2019 follow-up It Chapter Two.[7]
In 2019, Martell was also a part of Rian Johnson's ensemble cast in the murder-mystery film Knives Out.[7] In March 2019, now credited as Martell, he joined the cast of the Apple miniseries Defending Jacob, based on the William Landay novel of the same name.[8]
