Aramis Knight
Aramis Knight is an actor, born 1999.
Bean is an excellent part for a young actor, and Aramis Knight got it early. Born in Woodland Hills in 1999, he had already been working steadily in television, on Boston Legal, Dexter, Lost, The Middle and Psych, none of which are among the credits listed here, and in films where he mostly played somebody's son: Jeremy El-Ibrahimi in Rendition, Juan Sanchez in Crossing Over.
Ender's Game in 2013 handed him the quickest mind in the room and very little screen time in which to establish it, and he managed the trick, which is harder than the finished film makes it look. Into the Badlands, which ran from 2015 to 2019, was the real proving ground: as M.K. he had to carry a large part of the series mythology while doing sustained physical work, and the performance visibly grew across it.
Since then he has been the most likeable thing in a Marvel series, playing Red Dagger in Ms. Marvel in 2022, and moved into adult roles, in Runt, in Karate Kid: Legends in 2025 as Conor, and in Baby Blue. Taken whole, the record is a rare shape: a child actor who kept working without a visible collapse anywhere in the middle.

Where to start with Aramis Knight
Into the Badlands is the credit that repays the time. M.K. is the closest thing Knight has had to a lead, the fight choreography is the genuine draw, and the series gives him room the films never do. Give it three episodes before deciding.
Ender's Game is the better-known title and the more efficient watch: he plays Bean, the child who is quicker than the protagonist and smart enough not to say so, and it is the performance to point at when arguing he was underused as a teenager.
Ms. Marvel is the charm offensive, and Red Dagger is the most relaxed he has been on screen. Karate Kid: Legends is the recent studio credit, Runt is the small serious one, and Rendition is where you can watch the child version of the same steady, unshowy instinct.
