Twelve years later, he is a star in one of Netflix's most popular TV series. For a 23-year-old who has barely spent ten years in the industry, he has amassed many achievements in the industry and beyond.

Due to his age, it's a no-brainer that many people in and outside his fanbase would want to know how much he is worth. Keep reading to learn about his net worth, career run, and role in "Cobra Kai."

Buchanan made his debut appearance while playing a child role in "Modern Family" twelve years ago. The sitcom was created and co-produced by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan. It comprised eleven seasons with 251 episodes.

The series ran from September 23, 2009, to April 8, 2020, and starred Ed O'Neill, Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Fergusson, Rico Rodriguez, Ariel Winter, Jeremy Maguire, Eric Stonestreet, and many others.

After his debut role, he became one of the top choices for leading roles and guest roles in different hit projects. He was on series like "The Goldbergs," "Grey's Anatomy," and others.

Apart from his roles in TV series, he featured in movies like "Jake Squared," a movie directed by Howard Goldberg, and "The Real St. Nick," a 2012 yuletide film. Later on in his career, he took more recurring roles in series.

In the latter part of the previous decade, he got more famous when he took on roles in "Designated Survivor" and "Mason Kendall." While featuring in these series, he also appeared in some movies from 2019 to date.

Buchanan gained more popularity after his role as Keene in "Cobra Kai." The series started in 2019 and is still running at the moment. At the same time, he added more non-seasonal movies to his catalog.

According to CelebrityNetWorth, Buchanan is worth $1 million. His net worth is estimated to be almost on the same level with "Cobra Kai" co-stars like Gianni Decenzo and Xolo Mariduena.

Buchanan's worth is estimated to come from acting solely, and he is looking forward to venturing into music later on in his career. Also, in Hollywood, he is a top pick and is expected to appear in more extensive projects in subsequent years.

In an interview with Showbiz Cheat Sheet last two years, Buchanan revealed his experience with musical instruments from a tender age. The American actor played the guitar since he was four years of age.

This part of him is not open to the public because it's a talent that feels so personal to him. At the time, he wasn't interested in trying music, but he made it known that it is something he might venture into later on in his career.

In the interview, he revealed acting as his number one, closely followed by music which he would like to try out. He explained that he might not go into it as a solo artist but as part of a band.

He referenced how beautiful it is that Jared Leto is an actor and a singer who is part of a rock band. For him, being part of a rock group is a fantastic idea and cool stuff to try out.

At the moment, Buchanan's role in "Cobra Kai" is the most important to him. At the beginning of the thriller series, he started as a criminal and rule-breaker at school who wanted to get back at his dad, Johnny Lawrence (played by William Zabka).

He did that by getting close to his dad's primary enemy, Daniel LaRusso (played by Ralph Macchio). LaRusso took him, the Robby Keene character, under his watch and trained him in a Karate setup.

However, the young lad felt betrayed by LaRusso and his dad, which prompted him to move to a darker Karate base led by John Kreese (played by Martin Kove). In season five of the series, he might have to choose between his new Karate territory and his roots.
