Kellan Christopher Lutz was born on March 15, 1985 in Dickinson, ND. His family, which included six brothers and one sister, moved quite often and lived throughout the Midwest, North Dakota, and Arizona. Lutz moved to California after graduating from high school and attended Chapman University to study chemical engineering. The baby-faced yet athletic young man considered becoming a Navy SEAL for a time but eventually decided to quit school and pursue acting. While dropping out was a risk, Lutz was confident in his quest to become an actor.

With very little experience, aside from a few modeling jobs as a teenager, Lutz booked a minor appearance on the daytime soap opera, "The Bold and the Beautiful" (CBS, 1987- ). He quickly graduated to primetime with a featured role on "The Comeback," a show-within-a-show comedy series that starred Lisa Kudrow and was co-created by "Sex and the City" (HBO, 1998-2004) producer Michael Patrick King. The "Friends" (NBC, 1994-2004) alum played Valerie Cherish, a washed-up TV star who agrees to do a reality show that follows her glorious comeback to the small screen. Lutz played Chris MacNess, a handsome and underpaid actor who ends up working with Kudrow's character on a sitcom. Even though the show received Emmy Award nominations - including an acting nod for Kudrow - "The Comeback" debuted to low ratings and never gained steam. HBO dropped the series after 13 weeks on the air.
