Sean H. Faris (born March 25, 1982 in Houston, Texas) is an American actor. He is unrelated to comedic actress Anna Faris.

Early life

Faris moved from Houston to Parma, Ohio, at age 12 with his mother. He attended Padua Franciscan High School, and was one of the few non-Catholic students on the campus. He graduated with honors in 2000.

Career

Faris decided to become an actor at the age of 17. He began his acting and modeling career in Cleveland at Barbizon, and later moved to the International Model and Talent Association with Stone Model & Talent.


Three weeks after high school graduation, Faris and his best friend packed their bags and headed out to California. But after three days in Los Angeles, Faris' best friend could not handle the L.A. culture and travelled back to Ohio, leaving Faris behind. After more work towards his future, he was signed onto Michael Bay's blockbuster war film Pearl Harbor with other well-known stars Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett, in the role of Danny's gunner. It was with this, that Faris' acting career took off.

Faris has starred in many different projects, including two television shows which got canceled after less than one season, Life As We Know It, and Reunion. He has also had small and large roles in many films like remake Yours, Mine and Ours as William Beardsley and guest star roles on other television shows.


Trivia

  • Nominated for the Young Actors Award at the 7th Annual Young Hollywood Awards.
  • Has one brother and one step-sister.
  • Mastered the training of hockey for the TV show Life As We Know It.
  • While auditioning for the role of Dino Whitman in Life As We Know It, he helped newcomer Missy Peregrym by simply wearing slippers. When he entered the room for the read-through, Missy remarked, "Why are you wearing slippers?" The casting directors felt the connection between them.
  • Named 38 of magazine Elle Girl's 50 Sexiest Guys.

Real Life Quotes

  • "High school is high school, but it's not until you get out of high school that you realize that it's just a stepping stone in life. Nothing is easy about high school. I didn't know where I fit. There are so many cliques of people who are popular and who are not. You get too caught up trying to figure out where you fit in the whole scheme of things, but really, it truly doesn't matter. All that matters is that you have your friends who are your friends -- period." Interview with Tim Lammers, July 2004.
