Czuchry graduated with honors in 1999 from the College of Charleston with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Political Science. He won the Mr. College of Charleston pageant in 1998, which won him a 15 week course at Millie Lewis and sparked his interest in acting. He went to school on a tennis scholarship, was captain of the men's tennis team, and was an NCAA ranked player in the Southern Conference. He took one theater class in college, and his professor encouraged him to change his major to drama. Additionally, Czuchry studied acting with Belita Moreno, star of the comedy series George Lopez.
He won the 1995 Tennessee state high school singles championship for Science Hill.

It was during his first role, in The WB's Young Americans, that he met Kate Bosworth. He dated Bosworth from 2000 to 2002.

Czuchry is best known for his role as Logan Huntzberger on the television show Gilmore Girls on The CW. The character is a privileged young man who, during studies at Yale University, becomes romantically involved with Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel). As of the seventh season, the couple is in a transatlantic relationship, as Logan works in London while Rory finishes school back home.

Prior to this role, Czuchry had a recurring guest role on the CBS drama Hack and starred in the pilot of UPN's Jake 2.0. He has also appeared in the movies Eight Legged Freaks and Slap Her, She's French. In addition, he has appeared in the cult favorite TV show Freaks and Geeks as well as on 7th Heaven, The Practice, and Veronica Mars.

First sign that told Matt to become an actor:
'First there was the time his sister told him during a walk on the beach that he would someday be an actor.'

PICTURE OF THE THREAD




What other people have said about Matt

"He’s made his mark as a good actor. He’s someone very special. He made that nice impact, and that’s why he is still on the show."
By Lauren Graham

“It isn’t easy to just jump into arguably the smartest long-running series on television – one known for its brilliant writing and strong ensemble cast – and make an immediate impression. However, Matt Czuchry made it look simple.”
By Jay. S. Jacobs (Journalist)

"When you add a kid like Matt Czuchry to the show and all of a sudden it brings in different layers and different stories and different textures, it's like, it doesn't have to end."
~ Amy Sherman Palladino

"But here he is, walking the red carpet, having photographers yell out his name and setting the hearts of the WB aflutter."
From Interview with Terry Morrow

"'I heard a million messageboards light up with fingers tapping 'Oh my god, he's available!'"
Michael Ausiello – TV Guide Podcast

"For Willie, we had Matt Czuchry. He's a very nice guy and he loved meeting John Karlen on the set and had a good time. I think he's a good actor and Karlen liked him - Johnny's hard to please, he can really sum up an actor. I think there were a couple of scenes where Willie just got a little too silly, but I'd blame the director for that. Everyone agreed that Willie should be a little more down to earth than in 1991. Jim Fyfe is a great comedic actor, but with him Willie was really too much of a court jester. So Matt was a real asset."
By Jim Pierson

"I ran into Matt Czuchry (Logan, love him!)"
Kristin Veitch (E!Online)

'That was a really nice guy!!!'
'Our new best friend Matt Czuchry!'
Michael Ausiello – TV Guide Podcast

'It has to be a sort of an egoboost to you to know that there are so many people out there that consider you a sexsymbol'
Michael Ausiello – TV Guide Podcast

'I just wanted to make sure he was not playing a character similar to who he's playing on Gilmore Girls. I think Matt's a terrific actor. He has great range and an ability to play all kinds of characters. I support Matt and would love him to do all kinds of work outside the show.'
~D. Rosenthal

"It's really fun working with him, I mean it definitely is, because he's always very engaged, he's always in character, and it kinda motivates me. Because, like, I'm on the show every day, and when he comes in, he brings this fresh new energy and its kinda nice to work with him. So, I hope we get to have a lot more scenes together this season."
~ Alexis B.

[Eternal Flame]

The vein is what so much of us like about Matt..

Go get that quote if you want it so badly


Saturday's night show is also sold out (that wasn't the case when I checked this morning)
Also the variety site notes that there are 512 seats for this play, so that's quite a lot of people watching you...

[AlwaysHoldingOn]

owh.. of course I get mocked.. I forgot who I was talking to

that's the one!

how can you forget you were talking to me??? and not in the it wouldn't surprise you that I was mocking you, but I mean really I don't mock you that often

[AlwaysHoldingOn]

You mock me often enough

I really don't!

When were the people going that you know Mariana?! and Katie?!

Katie I think is going to one of the last shows, now my friend, she said the first week after the opening, so I'm assuming, during next week...

Acting is wonderful. I thought the writing was weak.

With that review I just have to say: It isn't Matt's fault at all. The play is the problem not the acting. There are now more user reviews about good acters but a not so strong play.

and the director's

[Eternal Flame]

Okay, that's cool.. so we can expect some..

Laura (Roxy) is going tonight if I'm not mistaken, she's in LA right now. She posted on LJ to say that
and somebody on IMDB is also going and giving a report, so hopefully we can expect 2 reports this weekend

20 threads

Nice number huh?!
I think this is the first appreciation thread (apart from foreign/game threads) that reached 20..
We really went through the last few threads quickly


I've read a lot about the writing too yes, that it's not the best of Wasserstein,but I also heard a lot about the directing..

like SEXY, HOT, TALENTED, AMAZING, WONDERFUL, i LOVE HIM, .....................................................PERFECT, MAGNIFICENT, GORGEOUS......................

it'll never be Matt's fault

[la bestia negra]

Manners Jess! Thanks for the new Thread

I've read a lot about the writing too yes, that it's not the best of Wasserstein,but I also heard a lot about the directing..

Matt needs definitely more luck with his projects. First Gravity and now not the best play....

[Eternal Flame]

like SEXY, HOT, TALENTED, AMAZING, WONDERFUL, i LOVE HIM, .....................................................PERFECT, MAGNIFICENT, GORGEOUS......................

You haven't reached those 20 words yet now, and you haven't even seen the play

I'd probably talk about all the details.. Matt was so cute when he did this, and when he did that.. He spoke the word 'The' so well

it'll never be Matt's fault

Not if we can help it.. We'd probably not be very objective critics if it were our job.

Manners Jess!

Matt needs definitely more luck with his projects. First Gravity and now not the best play....

It's not the worst play either.. It's a good one for him.. Most reviews are good.. it's not being burned down to the ground.

[AlwaysHoldingOn]

You haven't reached those 20 words yet now, and you haven't even seen the play I'd probably talk about all the details.. Matt was so cute when he did this, and when he did that.. He spoke the word 'The' so well

yeah but that's after when you are able to actually estructure complete sentences.

It's not the worst play either.. It's a good one for him.. Most reviews are good.. it's not being burned down to the ground.

no it isn't and it's sold out on Saturday so that's good.

I think it'll be great, itll be like wine, it'll get better with time!

[la bestia negra]

Most reviews are good.. it's not being burned down to the ground.

I know that it's not that bad but still. Maybe I'm just depressed cause I can't see him or Third or whatever

[Eternal Flame]

We can't judge it for ourselves.. which is a real shame.. We have to go by what other people say..

We can't say 'They're so wrong!"

yeah but that's after when you are able to actually estructure complete sentences

i think i'd be so hyper that I would talk non stop

I think it'll be great, itll be like wine, it'll get better with time!

Just like Matt
