TV teen heartthrob Andrew Keegan was born in Los Angeles, CA, on January 29,
1979. Keegan's career before the camera began before he was even out of
diapers, when his parents got him work as a model for a series of magazine
ads for Gerber baby foods. Keegan continued to work in commercials as a
child, and by the time he was 12, he began making guests shots in episodic
television, scoring small roles on Empty Nest, Baywatch, and Full House.
Keegan made his motion picture debut in
1994, in the comedy Camp Nowhere, and the same year he was cast in a
recurring role on the short-lived television series Thunder Alley. In 1997,
Keegan earned his first brush with fame as Wilson West, a teenage father who
catches the eye of Mary (played by Jessica Biel) on the series 7th Heaven.
Keegan's performance clicked with younger viewers, and he was soon cast on
the show Party of Five as hunky football player Reed Isley, who became the
love interest for Claudia (Lacey Chabert). Keegan's success on television
led to several higher-profile film roles, including Ten Things I Hate About
You, O, and The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy. Offscreen, Keegan has
been romantically linked with singer LeAnn Rimes and actress Piper Perabo.
