Film Acting[]

Marinov.
As Janko told Student Edge, acting in his first movie was incredibly nerve-wracking.:
"I’ve counted on my hands the number of times I’ve actually been nervous in real life, and I can tell you it’s about three times."
"I’m not a nervous guy, but I went into this thing and all of these guys are real actors. I sat there and I was like, 'Oh, this is a big room.' But those people made the set feel so nice and homely that I always felt like I belonged there."
Personal life[]
Janko was born to an Assyrian family in Chicago and moved to Arizona as a child. He has one sister named Sara. Janko dated Shelly Scholten (Shelly Sho) at one point.
As of August 2020, Janko is dating Shawna Della-Ricca.
