Bio
Joining Degrassi in its eighth season as Connor, AJ Saudin comes from a family of entertainers as both of his sisters are actors. AJ started out at a young age, doing commercials and print work - then playing opposite Natalie Cole as her son in The Natalie Cole Story when he was 7.
He also hosted 13 episodes of the music show Open Your Ears on YTV. AJ was nominated for "Best Performance in a TV Series" (recurring young actor 14 and over) at the 31st Annual Young Artist Awards.

Connor Delaurier
Connor's Asperger's therapy sessions have been paying off-he continues to embrace his condition, and hopes it will be his passport to his new goal of one day working for NASA. Everyone's astonished with this new Connor who believes his condition makes him superior-- so much so, that he often goes overboard, which his friends find at times both endearing and annoying. As the year progresses, we'll see Connor struggling to balance his intense focus on NASA and finding time for his friends, Dave and Wesley.
