Aidan Gould (born February 26, 1997) is an American actor. He is the older brother of Modern Family star Nolan Gould.

Family and education

Gould was born in Columbus, Georgia.[1] The family moved to Phenix City, Alabama, when he was very young because his father, an army captain, was stationed at Fort Benning. The family moved to California in 2003.[2]

Career

Like his brother Nolan, Aidan was a child actor. His career began in 2001; at age four, he was considered for We Were Soldiers, but instead made his first appearance in a television commercial.[3]

In 2008, he starred in the movie Julia[4] opposite Tilda Swinton.[5][6] The movie was entered in the 2008 Berlinale; one German critic called Gould's performance "impressive",[7] and another said Gould's performance was "uncannily capable".[8] Matthew Turner of View London called Aidan's performance a "remarkable job",[9] and Amber Wilkinson of Eye for Film remarked, "Gould invests Tom with sufficient reticence."[10]
