Mini Biography

Andrew Keegan is a natural born star. As one of the premiere faces of the Gerber Baby campaigns, Andrew melted our hearts from his very first step. With impressive performances in both mainstream and independent films, he has become one of Hollywood's hottest young celebrities.

Andrew cannot recall a time when he did not want to act. His first big break came in 1994 when he starred in the motion picture comedy, "Camp Nowhere", alongside the then rising young starlet, Jessica Alba. Andrew's heartthrob status was immediate, and he had girls across the world swooning.

In 1997, Andrew cemented his place in Hollywood by landing a role on the Fox hit show, Party of Five, playing opposite Lacey Chabert as her hunky football player boyfriend. That same year, Andrew was cast opposite Jessica Biel in the WB's longest running hit series, 7th Heaven, where he played a single teenage father who falls in love with Biel.

Andrew's incredible success in television led him back to the big screen, and in 1999 he was cast alongside Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles in the romantic comedy, "10 Things I Hate About You". Andrew played Joey Donnor, the most popular and hottest guy in school who became the love interest of Bianca Larisa Oleynik. Andrew's hilarious performance was well-received and earned him prominent roles in many motion pictures such as "The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy" with Zach Braff and Dean Cain and "O", a modern day version of Shakespeare's Othello with Mekhi Phifer, Josh Hartnett and 'Julia Stiles'.

These days, when not schooling celebrities in major surfing competitions like the Boost Mobile Pro and donating all of his winnings to charity, Andrew can be seen starring opposite Kiele Sanchez on the WB's hit show, "Related". Andrew plays Zack the suave college undergrad that captivates the attention of an older woman (Sanchez).

Now, an established Hollywood actor, Andrew is also beginning to dabble in production. "Defining Moments" which Andrew will be producing in 2006 is a heartbreaking comedy about that one moment in your life that defines who you'll become for the rest of your life. Andrew is also venturing into the latest Hollywood trend: club ownership. He recently bought a local hotspot in Venice, California that he plans to reinvent into a relaxing and fun atmosphere not only for the Hollywood elite but for everyone.
