Career Palatas had a recurring role in the 2013 mockumentary series Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous. He has since had minor roles in several Disney shows such as iCarly, A.N.T.

Personal life Palatas dated actress Ariel Winter around 2012, which attracted some controversy as he was 18 years old and she was 14 years old. Winter's mother filed statutory rape charges against Palatas in 2012, but the charges were soon dropped when Winter's sister Shanelle Workman became Winter's legal guardian and alleged that their mother had been physically and emotionally abusive, culminating in Winter receiving emancipation in 2015.
