    Career

    2010s

    Armitage first gained prominence via his YouTube series Iain Loves Theatre where he reviews stage shows from musical theater.[4] His videos caught the attention of the theater industry, including two agents who wanted to sign him for the videos' success. During the 2015 Tony Awards, he served as a correspondent for Perez Hilton and was referenced in the opening number of the show.[5]

    In January 2017, Armitage starred in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit ("Chasing Theo"), playing a young child, Theo Lachere, who had been kidnapped. He appeared in Impractical Jokers "Look Out Below", where he was talked to by Murr in "Who Let The Dogs Out?", in the second challenge of that episode. He played Ziggy Chapman in the HBO series Big Little Lies and he appeared in The Glass Castle, a film adaptation of Jeannette Walls' memoir of the same name.[4] In the same year, he was also in the films I'm Not Here and Our Souls at Night,[6] which also starred Jane Fonda and Robert Redford.[7]
