Early works
As a child actor, he did
General Hospital
Parsons originally auditioned for a different role on General Hospital and was not cast, but the series subsequently created a new character for him.
In December 2011, Parsons announced that he had decided not to renew his contract with General Hospital (which was expiring in early 2012).[citation needed] His last airdate was 7 March 2012, in a final scene that was shared with his on-screen parents, Anthony Geary and Emma Samms. The storyline was left open-ended for his possible return.
In May 2012, Parsons was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in the Outstanding Younger Actor category for his portrayal of Ethan Lovett on General Hospital.[citation needed] The 2012 Daytime Emmy Awards were televised live on 23 June 2012, from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Though Parsons did not win in this category, he was prominently featured in the telecast as a presenter for the coveted Outstanding Lead Actor category, in which his former co-stars, Anthony Geary and Maurice Benard, were both nominated. Parsons presented the award to his former on-screen father, Anthony Geary (for an unprecedented 7th win), and was acknowledged in Geary's acceptance speech. General Hospital also won the Outstanding Drama Series award.[citation needed]
In April 2013, Parsons returned to General Hospital as Ethan Lovett as part of the show's 50th Anniversary Celebration.[citation needed] His return aired over two days, 2 and 3 April, in which he appeared with Anthony Geary (Luke Spencer), Genie Francis (Laura Spencer) and Constance Towers (Helena Cassadine).[citation needed] He also reprised his character again in July 2015 for two episodes.
Bunheads
Parsons debuted on Bunheads on 16 July 2012, in an episode entitled "Money for Nothing", which introduced his character of Godot. While Godot was well known and idolized by the "bunheads", the lead character of Michelle (Sutton Foster) had never met him, as he had only just returned from a year-long surfing trip. There was a brief, but instant rapport between Michelle and Godot; a relationship that was played out through season 1. He went on to appear in another six episodes through the show's first and only season.
2014 to present
Parsons replaced Luke Grimes as James in the final season of True Blood[18] and appeared on The Originals as Jackson Kenner from 2014 to 2018.
In March 2018, Parsons was cast as Max Evans in The CW series Roswell, New Mexico.[19]
