He was ranked at #48 in VH1’s list of the “100 Greatest Kid Stars”. He did his first acting job at the age of three months while playing the role of the daughter of Lily Tomlin in Tomlin’s TV specials.

Faustino portrays an exaggerated version of himself on an “anti-entourage” series which is written and developed by him along with many of his friends. “This is a very twisted take on what I’ve been through all these years,” Faustino said. He has also signed a contract with National Lampoon which is to be engaged with three low-budget films.
