Derek James Trapp was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on December 30th, 1992. Derek began working in the film industry in 2017, and his first time on a film set was working as a background performer with Keanu Reeves on a movie called Siberia.

From that day forward Derek's life changed forever, and he had a whole new reason to work hard in his film career! Derek James Trapp officially created his own casting company in July, 2022 and named it DJT CASTING.

His goal is to continue building his career in the film industry as an actor, voice actor and casting director, and to continue building his business DJT CASTING.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
