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 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. He would also find success on the small screen, appearing on a reboot of 90210, and providing voices on animated series like Ultimate Spider-Man and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
