This initial foray ignited a fire for performance, leading him to the Desert Stages Theatre in Scottsdale, where he immersed himself in over 30 local productions, including standout turns in The Little Mermaid, Seussical, Mary Poppins, and Into the Woods.
His mother’s promise to relocate the family to Los Angeles after completing those shows proved pivotal; by age 12, Asher had secured representation and began auditioning for television.
Guest spots on Nickelodeon’s Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn and CBS’s Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders in 2016 served as crucial stepping stones, honing his skills in comedic timing and dramatic intensity.
The true breakthrough arrived in 2017 with his casting as the charismatic Jonah Beck, the object of affection in Disney Channel’s groundbreaking series Andi Mack, which ran until 2019 and explored themes of family, identity, and LGBTQ+ representation, earning Asher a devoted fanbase and marking Disney’s shift toward more mature storytelling for young audiences.
Transitioning seamlessly to the big screen, Asher took on the titular role of Billy Batson in Warner Bros.’ Shazam! (2019), a DC Extended Universe entry that grossed over $366 million worldwide and showcased his ability to blend humor, heart, and heroism as a teen who transforms into the superhero Shazam, portrayed by Zachary Levi in adult form.
He reprised the character in Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023), further solidifying his place in the superhero genre amid critical praise for the franchise’s lighthearted tone.
Diversifying his portfolio, Asher delved into music with his debut single “One Thought Away” featuring Wiz Khalifa in 2019, followed by covers and original tracks that highlight his smooth vocals and guitar prowess.
Recent years have seen him embrace edgier roles, including the Hulu comedy-horror Darby and the Dead (2022), the thriller Lazareth (2023), the teen romance 99 Days (announced in 2023), and the inspirational drama On Fire (2023), where he stars as a resilient young man facing personal tragedy.
