Native Ohioan Matt Lanter began his career as a thespian on the small screen, with guest roles on series programs including Grey's Anatomy, Monk, and Big Love, and multi-episode runs on Heroes and Commander in Chief. He stepped into features as the lead in two non-theatrical sequels: the ABC Family telemovie The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream and the direct-to-video #92;thriller WarGames: The Dead Code (both 2008). Lanter then appeared on the big screen, in a lead opposite Carmen Electra and Vanessa Minnillo, in the Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg-directed gag-fest Disaster Movie. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
