Early life

[edit]

Stokes was born in Annapolis, Maryland, the only child of Jeff Stokes and Jennifer Canning. His parents divorced when he was 4 years old.[4] Stokes subsequently moved with his mother to Canton, Georgia,[5] and later to Orlando, Florida as a teenager where he attended Timber Creek High School.[6] He received his bachelor's degree at Valencia College and later attended University of Central Florida and Seminole State College.[7] Growing up, he aspired to become a professional ice hockey player.[8]

Stokes had small roles in television at the beginning of his acting career, including Stranger Things, Daytime Divas, and Tell Me Your Secrets.[9]

He originally turned down an offer to audition for Outer Banks in February 2019, before reading for the role of Topper and later John B.[10] The first season was released on April 15, 2020, to positive reviews, and a second season was confirmed in July.[11]

That same month, it was announced that he would be playing TJ in One Of Us Is Lying. However, after filming the pilot in 2019, it was announced that Chase would not return due to a scheduling conflict with the second season of Outer Banks and he was replaced.[12]
