Michael Vartan

Moved to Los Angeles from France at 18 to live with his mother, who encouraged him to pursue acting. Wanted to be a professional pool player before he became an actor. Nephew of 1960s French singing superstars Sylvie Vartan and Johnny Hallyday. Hobbies include painting and playing guitar. Avid hockey player and fan of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, as well as baseball's New York Mets. On his role in an ad campaign for the NHL's Stanley Cup, he told Sports Illustrated in 2004: "I've worked with… Show more some of the hottest women in Hollywood, and it's by far the most nervous I've been on camera. The moment I saw the Cup I got the chills. The first 10 takes I flubbed every line." ~ Rovi
