Star born in Davenport
Mr. Oberhaus was born in Davenport, and grew up as the middle child among his two brothers, raised by parents Mark and Denise. Although baseball played a significant role in his early life, Mr. Oberhaus always found fascination in the challenge and creativity demanded by acting and filmmaking.
His journey into the world of entertainment began with shooting stop-motion short films, eventually leading to the production of two feature films during his high school years. While pursuing a bachelor’s degree in cinema at The University of Iowa, he discovered a passion for being in front of the camera rather than behind it.
In July of 2014, Mr. Oberhaus moved to Los Angeles where he embarked on his acting career, securing roles in independent films such as “Haunt” and landing smaller parts on various TV shows. He has recently been featured in the Apple TV+ show “Truth Be Told” and HULU’s “Pam & Tommy.”
