Just call Tyriq Withers the internet's new boyfriend. "I never signed up for that," the actor joked during a March 2026 interview with People. "I think the beautiful thing about it is I just show up to these interviews and just bring myself, and I'm just glad people resonate with that. It is validating that you don't have to be anybody else but yourself." While some consider the actor's breakout role to be his one-episode stint as Aaron in a 2022 episode of Atlanta, Withers also made waves for starring as Cameron Cade in the 2025 horror film Him.
