For actor SEAN FARIS, life as he knows it has kicked into high gear. He is currently starring in the coveted lead role of Summit Entertainment’s NEVER BACK DOWN which has been likened to a cross between FIGHT CLUB and KARATE KID, and recently returned New York City starring for filmmaker Jessy Terrero in BROOKLYN TO MANHATTAN. Also on the horizon is the central role in the rugby-inspired feature FOREVER STRONG. Additionally, he appeared as Dennis Quaid’s eldest son in Paramount’s hit remake of the classic YOURS, MINE, & OURS and previously starred as the hunky object of affection in MGM’s comedy romp SLEEPOVER.
In direct contrast, Faris starred as the lead in FOX’s acclaimed drama series REUNION which followed six close friends from their high school graduation to their 20 th reunion. He previously led the cast of ABC’s dramatic series LIFE AS WE KNOW IT. Based upon British author Melvin Burgess’ controversial novel Doing It , the acclaimed show chronicled the sexual antics of a group of high school friends in Seattle. For his role as sensitive jock Dino Whitman, he was heralded as a breakout talent by the likes of Daily Variety , The Hollywood Reporter , and USA Today .
No stranger to television, Faris has also guest-starred on such shows as SMALLVILLE, ONE TREE HILL, and BOSTON PUBLIC. His big screen debut featured him alongside the likes of Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett in Michael Bay’s epic PEARL HARBOR.
A Texas native, Faris moved to Ohio at age 12 and has been honing
his craft in Los Angeles since moving four years upon his high school
graduation.
