Early Life Ethan Nestor was born on October 24, 1996 to Mark Nestor and Annie Darling. Since his youth, Ethan showed an interest in cinema and producing, often making videos with his brother Andrew Nestor. His father would go on to make the first Crankgameplay's logo, which was for a channel Ethan Nestor had under the same name before creating a new one. His secondary channel - his current one - was created three years after he started YouTube and has continued to be his main channel ever since.

The Backflip Commonly referred to as 'Backflip Dude', Ethan Nestor met YouTube personality Markiplier at Markiplier and Friends PAX East in 2014. At this panel he requested to backflip for Markiplier. This start led to Ethan Nestor being asked to move to Los Angeles to become an editor for Markiplier in 2016. He has remained in Los Angeles since, though he hasn't edited for anyone other than his own channel since Unus Annus from 2019-2020.

Unus Annus On November 13, 2019, Crankgameplays and Markiplier made a channel titled Unus Annus (latin for 'one year'). The intent of the channel was to upload once daily for 365 days, with the channel being deleted one year after creation without preservation of the content. Many archives of the channel's content exist online, which both creators have firmly stood against. The end of the channel commenced with a twelve hour livestream that ended with the permanent deletion of the channel. At its height, this livestream gathered 1.5 million people, one of the highest turn outs for a YouTube livestream to date.
