Personal life [edit]

Eggold was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Karen (née Benik) and James Frederick Eggold.[2][3] Eggold graduated from Santa Margarita Catholic High School in 2002, where he participated in many school theater performances, and later from the University of Southern California's theater arts department in 2006. Eggold also writes music, plays guitar and piano, and sings in his band.

Career [edit]

Eggold had recurring roles on CBS's Young and the Restless, HBO's Entourage, Cartoon Network's Out of Jimmy's Head, ABC's Brothers & Sisters and The CW's Veronica Mars, before obtaining his first series regular role on the FX's Dirt.

In addition to his work in television, Eggold made his professional stage debut in the 2006 Ahmanson Theatre/Center Theatre Group production Dead End, directed by Nick Martin, and has since appeared in productions of Leipzig, the LA Weekly Theater Award-winning production of Marat/Sade, and an original production called "Amy and Elliot" which he wrote, directed and starred in at the Stella Adler theatre with Alexandra Breckenridge.

Eggold portrayed English teacher Ryan Matthews in 90210, the CW spin-off of FOX's Beverly Hills, 90210, despite the fact that he is less than one year older than several of the other actors who play his students. In fact, Eggold is younger than Matt Lanter, Michael Steger, and Trevor Donovan.
