Von Detten’s feature credits include leading roles in Disney’s The Princess Diaries (2001) where he played the object of Anne Hathaway’s affections; and Universal’s Leave It to Beaver (1997) in which he played Wally Cleaver opposite Christopher McDonald and Janine Turner.

Additionally, he has voiced characters for Disney’s animated feature Tarzan (1999) and the television series The Legend of Tarzan (2001), the animated television series Recess (1997) and the feature versions Recess Christmas: Miracle on Third Street (2001) and Recess: School’s Out (2001).
Aside from acting, von Detten’s interests include classical piano, landscape photography and self-portraiture, and spending time on his classic 1969 sailboat which he bought at the age of twelve and has fully restored.
