Letter for Agency

He grew up in Johnson City, Tennessee. His father, Andy, is a professor at East Tennessee State University and his mother, Sandra, is a homemaker, and are residents of Gray. He has two brothers, Mike and AJ (Andy Junior), a sister Karen, and a cousin Jason Phelps. AJ is married to his wife Diane (in Auburn, Ga), Mike is married to his wife Tiffiniy Sia in Ft. Worth TExas and Karen and her husband Florian live in Vienna, Austria.
Matt is also an uncle of Drew (son of AJ), and Selina (daughter of Karen).

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.'

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'
