He has a younger brother, Drummond.[5] Conti is a member of the National Youth Theatre, and has appeared in productions of Machinal, Crazy for You and Blithe Spirit.

Conti made his onscreen debut as the Queen's Page in a 2022 episode of HBO's series House of the Dragon. He went on to play Jeremy Frazier, the brief love interest of Astrid, in the 2024 comedy horror film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. He had auditioned for the role over a Zoom call with director Tim Burton. Conti was told that he had won the part on April Fools' Day, and thus initially thought it was a practical joke.[6]
