Austin Amelio (born 27 April 1988) is an American skateboarder and actor best known for his role as Dwight in The Walking Dead and its spin-off Fear the Walking Dead, as well as his performance as Nesbit in Richard Linklater’s Everybody Wants Some!!. He rose to prominence through his intense, physically grounded portrayal of Dwight, bringing complexity and emotional weight to a character that quickly became a fan favourite within the franchise. Amelio’s background in skateboarding informs much of his screen presence, lending his performances a natural ease, physical confidence, and lived-in authenticity that sets him apart.

Off screen, Amelio’s personal style reflects his skate roots and laid-back approach to fashion, blending rugged Americana with a relaxed, vintage sensibility. He favours denim, worn-in T-shirts, leather jackets, and classic workwear silhouettes that feel authentic rather than styled. Eyewear plays a defining role in his look, often adding structure and attitude to otherwise understated outfits. He has been seen wearing timeless frames from Ray-Ban, gravitating towards Wayfarer or softly rounded shapes with dark lenses. Whether skating, attending film events, or moving between projects, Austin Amelio’s eyewear completes an image that is effortless, grounded, and unmistakably cool.
