Fans might remember British actor Gregg Sulkin from the early 2010s when he appeared on fan-favourite shows on the Disney Channel for several years.
The 31-year-old might have made his TV debut in the Doctor Zhivago series in 2002 but became best known for his role as Mason Greyback in the Selena Gomez-fronted show, Wizards of Waverly Place. His character is introduced as an English student in Alex Russo's art class and the two later date. Mason is also a werewolf in the teen show.
Gregg later returned from the Wizards of Waverly Place television special, The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex. The actor soon left Disney Channel and pursued his more adult roles in Hollywood. He landed roles in Pretty Little Liars, Melissa & Joey and Marvel's Runaways. Most recently, he was in Lopez vs Lopez and the teen drama movie, This Is The Year.
