EDDIE CIBRIAN
       

Born June 16, 1973 in Burbank, California, Eddie Cibrian was raised in the San Fernando Valley. The only child of Carlos and Hortensia Cibrian, both of Cuban descent, Eddie Cibrian became interested in acting at the age of 13 when he found out that a fellow classmate had broken into the business doing commercials. After discussing it with his parents, Eddie landed an agent and booked seven commercials over the next two years, landing a national Coca-Cola commercial on his very first audition. While he enjoyed the work, the auditions prevented him from participating in school sports. A natural athlete, Eddie decided to put his acting career on hold in favour of joining the high school football team.

       

After graduating from Montclair High School, Eddie Cibrian enrolled as a Business/Economics major at UCLA and took on a part-time job to make ends meet. However, he missed the challenge and excitement of working in the entertainment industry, and shortly afterwards decided to give acting another shot. Eddie Cibrian quickly signed with an agent and began working almost immediately, his first work being a starring role in Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s Emmy Award-winning television special, Kids Killing Kids.

Eddie has recently starred in TV movies, The Hitman, Logan’s War - Bound By Honour, and also his feature film debut in Living Out Loud with Holly Hunter, Queen Latifah and Danny DeVito, released in the US on November 6th 1998.

In Living Out Loud, he plays a masseur and his scenes are said to be extremely hot.

A new aspect to his ever-expanding CV was the recent release of Yes Yes Yes… No No No as one third of the all-male trio 3Deep.
