Matt Dallas - The Early Years

Matt and his four younger brothers grew up in Phoenix, Arizona.

He snagged a role and quickly fell in love with acting. When Matt graduated from high school, he moved to LA.

The show follows the adventures of a teenage boy who finds himself in the woods outside of Seattle without any memories of his past - or a belly button!
