Biography |
Colin Egglesfield (born February 9, 1973, in Dearborn,
Michigan) is an American actor. He is currently part of the
cast of the ABC soap opera All My Children, as Josh Madden.
He was the second child of William and Mary Egglesfield and
spent his early childhood in the Metro Detroit area. At the
age of ten, he and his family moved to Crete, Illinois, a
small community south of Chicago. Growing up, he was more
studious than rambunctious, preferring to spend Friday
nights alone building model airplanes. His dream was to
follow his father's footsteps as a physician, but became
interested in acting watching his older sister Kerry
perform.
Shy and gawky in his adolescent years, he credits his prep
football coach with helping gain a positive self-esteem.
Egglesfield graduated from Marian Catholic High School in
Chicago Heights and went on to the University of Iowa's
pre-med school. After his first year there, he backpacked
throughout Europe.
To earn money for the rest of his time in medical school,
Egglesfield turned to modeling. He won a contest (he entered
at the urging of a friend), and soon after, he left medicine
behind for a modeling career. He modeled for Versace, Calvin
Klein, and Armani, among others before the acting bug bit
him.
After taking drama classes, Colin Egglesfield found himself
guest starring on popular TV series such Law & Order, The
$treet, Gilmore Girls, Charmed, and Nip/Tuck. He also had a
very small 5-word 7 second role in the 2005 movie Must Love
Dogs, in addition to many other minor film projects. On
September 20, 2005, he made his debut on All My Children,
taking over the role of Josh Madden from his short-lived
predecessor Scott Kinworthy.
Colin Egglesfield has two siblings: an older sister, Kerry,
and a younger brother, Sean. He resides in New York City and
was named one of People's "Sexiest Men Alive" in November
2005. |
