Intended to become a lawyer when he entered college, but a summer internship at a law firm made him realize he disliked the field. So he switched to acting. While a college sophomore, he visited a family friend in L.A. during spring break---and stayed. Told his parents and school that he had an internship while he was staying in L.A., but was really seeking acting work. Auditioned for the role of Ryan Atwood on The O.C., but lost out to Benjamin McKenzie.  ~ Rovi
