Devon Marcel Clark III (Jake Lloyd) grew up in Plum Borough, Pa which is a suburb of the olden day steel town Pittsburgh. At an early age he was intrigued with the characters that he saw in movies and his vast imagination led him to many day time imaginary play sessions. As he grew up he was also very
athletic and was a star soccer player. At the age of 14 he was playing on three different soccer teams and traveling all over eastern united states. In high school he played varsity soccer and was asked to be on an Olympic Development soccer team. It was also in his high-school years that he was introduced to theatre.

He starred in numerous highschool plays including The Wizard of Oz playing the comedic character of Scarecrow.
After high-school he went to Penn State University where he decided to study Business Management and Logistics to eventually follow in his fathers footsteps as a business owner.
