Concerning his professional career, Dakota Goyo had his first commercial appearance while still a baby. His television debut was in the CBS television film “Ultra” in 2006. His natural performance, maturity and ability to memorize his lines at such a young age were the key to future roles. His first leading role in a feature film was at the age of six in the drama sports film “Resurrecting the Champ” (2007), in which he played Teddy Kernan, a performance which earned him a nomination for the Young Artist Award in the category of the Young Actor Age Ten or Younger. The same year, he starred with Susan Sarandon and Christopher Plummer in the film “Emotional Arithmetic” directed by Paolo Barzman, followed in 2009 by starring alongside Woody Harrelson in the film “Defendor” in which he interpreted Jack Carter, so his net worth was already firmly established.
In 2010, Dakota was chosen to play Max Kenton in the DreamWorks movie “Real Steel” with Hugh Jackman as co-star, for which the actor won the Young Artist Award in the category of the Best Leading Actor. Later, Goyo played a Young Thor in the superhero film “Thor” (2011), starring Anthony Hopkins and Chris Hemsworth, bringing mixed reviews although it grossed $450 million at the box office. The same year he was nominated for the Daytime Emmy and Young Artist Awards for his role of Josh in the television series “R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour”, then in 2012 he lent his voice to the character Jamie Bennett in the animated DreamWorks movie “Rise of the Guardians”.

Finally, in the personal life of the actor, at the age of 18 he is still single. He has opened Twitter and Instagram accounts, and a Facebook page, but he is very discreet on social networks because of his courses and filming. He has two dogs, Abby and Jade and unusually a gecko named Athena.
