Sloane Siegel's journey as Dwight in the ongoing BYU TV series 'Dwight in Shining Armor' has been colossal but, in real life, the young actor has indulged in even bigger adventures, all the at age of 18.

On the show, Siegel's Dwight goes from being a regular teen interested in photography to befriending a sleeping medieval princess Gretta (Caitlin Carmichael) who must defeat her enemies alongside her sidekick Baldric (Joel McCrary). Dwight's path is one filled with action and nothing short of epic as he goes through a less-than-typical coming-of-age journey. That's all very inspiring and entertaining, but Siegel's personal journey from a rescue farm to winning the Best Actor Award as the Lead in a TV Series — three years in a row — at such a young age is beyond inspiring.
