Curtis Lepore, born June 28, 1983, in Smithtown, New York, is an American actor, musician, director, and internet personality. He rose to prominence as a top Vine creator, ranking among the platform's most popular users with over a million followers by 2014, where he posted comedic videos and vlogs. Lepore later transitioned to YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat, amassing millions of followers across social media with ongoing content like funny sketches and lifestyle posts.
Before his online fame, he fronted the straight-edge hardcore band GhostXShip from 2009 to 2012 in his hometown of Syracuse, New York, and contributed vocals to other bands like No Zodiac, including a 2013 European tour. A vegan and straight-edge advocate, Lepore attended SUNY Oswego before relocating to Los Angeles. He has appeared in films such as Airplane Mode (2019), Deported (2020), and Easter Egg (2018), and runs his own film studio focusing on writing, producing, directing, and acting.
Lepore's personal life includes adopting a Boston Terrier named Buster Beans in 2010, who gained his own massive online following. In 2014, he faced serious legal issues after his arrest for allegedly raping his ex-girlfriend, fellow Vine star Jessi Smiles; the rape charge was dropped in a plea deal where he pleaded no contest to felony assault, resulting in probation. He maintains an active presence on platforms like Facebook (over 7 million likes) and Snapchat (over 327,000 subscribers as of late 2024).
