Matt Dallas - The Early Years

Matt and his four younger brothers grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. Matt was more of a jock than a drama geek until his grandmother took him to an audition for a community theater production of The Ugly Duckling when he was 12 years old. He snagged a role and quickly fell in love with acting. When Matt graduated from high school, he moved to LA.

The show follows the adventures of a teenage boy who finds himself in the woods outside of Seattle without any memories of his past - or a belly button!
