Biography
Atticus Shaffer (June 19, 1998) is an American actor best known for portraying Brick Heck on the ABC sitcom The Middle, as well as for voicing Edgar in Frankenweenie (2012), Ono on the Disney Junior series The Lion Guard, and for his brief appearance in Hancock (2008).
Early life
Shaffer was born in Santa Clarita, California, the son of Ron and Debbie Shaffer. He lives in Acton, California.
Personal life
Shaffer has osteogenesis imperfecta, a condition involving a defect in type 1 collagen, which causes fragile bones. His small stature from this condition allows him to portray a character on The Middle approximately 5 to 7 years younger than his real-life age. He also requires a body double during scenes where he could get hurt. He is homeschooled and is an avid reader, much like the character he portrays on The Middle.
