Biography |
|
Riley Smith is an American actor. He was discovered at a
local mall in his hometown by a local talent scout to fly to
New York City to compete at the International Modeling and
Talent Association (IMTA) Convention. This decision changed
his life. Riley was signed on to a Tommy Hilfiger modeling
campaign. He used the money he earned to pay for his acting
classes. Three months later, Riley flew to Los Angeles to do
a screen test for the 1998 WB pilot Minor Threat. He landed
his first audition and soon moved to Los Angeles. The pilot
did not succeed. Despite of that, he has gone on to do five
primetime network pilots, more than a dozen guest-starring
roles, and three series. He was on the show called Eight
Legged Freaks, played Les in Not Another Teen Movie, Johnny
Clay, Radio starring Ed Harris and Cuba Gooding Jr., and the
love interest of Ashley Olsen in New York Minute. He has
recurred in the CBS Emmy nominated series Joan of Arcadia,
the WB smash hit Summerland and the NBC show Hawaii. |
