Early Life and Career
Saxton began acting in commercials as a child, after being scouted at an audition he'd accompanied his older sister to. Shortly thereafter, both Charlie and his sister began performing with their local theater company.
On his introduction to acting, Saxton has said: "My mother is an actress and my dad was a stage manager in Delaware, so I was sort of born into this whole society. When they asked me if I wanted to act, I said yes, so I could get out of school quickly."
In 2003, Saxton made his Broadway debut in the revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. A decade later in 2013 he starred in an Off-Broadway production of A Family for All Occasions, directed by Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
