Eventually, as a teenager, Levi stopped acting but maintained his interest in entertainment. After high school, he ended up at the Prague Centre for Film Education in the Czech Republic, where he studied writing and directing. During his time at school, Levi’s passion for acting was rekindled by one of his teachers named Simon Howard.

Levi resumed acting and in 2009 made his first screen debut in the short film Brotherly Love, written and directed by Marcus Schwenzel. After finishing his studies in the Czech language Levi moved to Vancouver where he started working for a production company. The director Roger Larry, who owned the production company Levi worked for, encouraged him to consider a full-time career as an actor.

Larry helped Levi land an agent, and he began dubbing small roles in television shows and short films. One of his earliest successes was the 2012 direct-to-video horror movie 1313: Bigfoot Island. Levi was then to appear on TV shows like The Secret Circle, Behind the 8-Ball, and Fast Human.

The year 2014 was to be Meaden’s breakthrough year, as he appeared on three major TV shows. These included Almost Human, The Killing, and The 100, followed by a recurring role on Olympus, iZombie, and an appearance in an episode of Legends of Tomorrow.

His career received a huge boost after he portrayed Copeland’s eldest child, Matt Copeland, in the first season of the Canadian series Apocalyptic Survival, Aftermath, which aired on Syfy. Unfortunately, the series was canceled after its first season in 2016.

Although it is not clear how they met, there is speculation that it may have been through a mutual friend. This mutual friend is suspected to be Winter’s friend Sterling Beaumon, who acted together with Meaden in The Killing.

About 6 months after their relationship began, Levi moved into Winter’s home in Sherman Oaks. The house is her first ever, and she bought it in 2015, as she revealed in her interview with Jimmy Kimmel.
