Biography |
Kip Pardue was born in Atlanta, Georgia on September 23,
1976. He grew up playing football and baseball and graduated
from Dunwoody High School, located in Atlanta, Georgia in
1994. The next year he was recruited to play football by
Yale University. He graduated in 1998 with a degree in
Economics. Kip headed west afterwards and enjoyed a
successfull career as a model for Abercrombie & Fitch and
Polo. Soon after he next turned to acting and landed TV
roles on "7th Heaven" (1996) and was cast as Josh Ford on
the WB Hit "Popular" (1999) before the role was later
re-cast.
After making his film debut in the racy independent flick
But I'm a Cheerleader (1999) and later Whatever It Takes
(2000), Kip got his big break with his role in _Remember The
Titans (2000)_ with Denzel Washington. He then starred as
Sylvester Stallone's Indy racing protege in Driven (2001).
Soon afterwards, Kip was named by Armani Exchange as one of
the "Top 10 Upcoming Actors" and Variety claimed he was one
of the "10 to Watch" for this year.
With several new movies due out later, including Rules of
Attraction, The (2002), based on the Bret Easton Ellis
novel, you can be sure his face won't be disappearing from
the screen. |
