Hicks often tweets messages about being ‘blessed’ and the importance of being ‘kind, humble and righteous.’

He has starred in ‘Zeke and Luther,’ ‘Pair of Kings’ and ‘Lemonade Mouth.’

It’s not the first time he was involved in holding up people at gun point either, according to law enforcement. 

They say Hicks has been involved in at least four other armed robberies.

Additionally, sources tell TMZ, he has two prior arrests on his record in Los Angeles.

One arrest was for firing a gun in July.

He was arrested again in September on battery.

The DA rejected those cases because of a lack of evidence. 

Hicks told fans he suffered a major loss when his mother died in 2015. He said she was the reason he got into acting and that she took him to his first audition.
