One look at George Stults and you know why he has taken millions of TV viewers by storm with his starring role as "Kevin Kinkirk" on the WB series "7th Heaven."
In addition to playing a cop on the WB's highest rated series, Stults is also starring in the upcoming independent film SNOWMAN'S PASS, where he plays a rock climber opposite Nicole Eggert.
Stults was recently named one of People magazine's "50 Hottest Bachelors of 2004." He is the latest model featured in a worldwide campaign for Liz Claiborne's fragrance "Bora Bora," and he
starred in K-Mart's "Back to School" ads seen all over the country on TV and in magazines. His Abercrombie and Fitch ads and billboards are part of a 2005 worldwide campaign.
George was born in Detroit to a very close-knit family splitting time in Michigan and Colorado. His mother runs a special education high school in Colorado for underprivileged children, his father owns and operates a small appliance repair business in Detroit. George's only sibling, his brother Geoff, just so happens to play his brother "Ben" on "7th Heaven."
"I am very fortunate to have such a cool family. My mother is like Superwoman. She not only is the program director of an alternative high school for emotionally disturbed teens, but she raised my brother and I as well. After working 29 years with hundreds of kids with real problems, she couldn't exactly screw up with us," he jokes modestly.
It was in high school that George got involved with acting. "I tried out for Hello Dolly because all the hot girls were already cast in the play. I figured that was the easiest way to meet them all," the young actor recalls. In addition to performing on stage, George also performed in the ring as a wrestler. "I was so into wrestling that I not only competed throughout high school traveling the country, but I also wrestled at the University of Southern Colorado. Basically I toured around the country getting my butt kicked," he recalls. "I really wanted to join the Navy and become a SEAL, but my parents insisted that I go to college and finish it." Although he was the number three wrestler in the state and halfway through his degree in Kinesiology, George transferred to Whittier College for his final year to be closer to his brother Geoff.
Shortly after moving to California, George was "discovered" while eating lunch with friends on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. A theatrical agent was driving past the restaurant and was so struck by George that she stopped the car in the middle of the street and jumped out to give him her business card. She insisted that George call her the very next morning, which he did --- and the rest, as they say, is history.
Armed with his first agent, George began attending acting classes and auditions. George was soon appearing in such high-profile TV shows as "Will & Grace" and "Spin City." He also appeared as Susan Sarandon's soap opera co-star on a special episode of America's most popular TV show, "Friends."
George's charisma, dynamic personality and classic good looks brought him to the attention of "7th Heaven" producers, who created a role especially for him. With his singular talent and promising role on the WB's highest rated series, George Stults is well on his way to stardom and will be the one to watch as he ascends in the elite ranks of young, hot Hollywood.
