Born and raised in Austin, Texas, actor Mehcad Brooks moved to California after graduating from high school in 2000. He then attended the University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television. Mehcad has been a staple on television for the last 8 years. It was the past year however that Mehcad has really shot to fame. Early in his career, this model turned actor appeared on shows such as Boston Public, Cold Case, Ghost Whisperer, The Game and was wasted for an entire season as Matthew Applewaite on Desperate Housewives.
In 2008 Brooks got a role that would finally let him shine. Viewers took notice of his character Eggs on True Blood. In addition to being shirtless for most of his scenes, Brooks was finally on a show that people were taking notice of. This past year Brooks appeared on the short-lived ABC Drama The Deep End. Although The Deep End did not last long, Mehcad Brooks will be back on ABC in the fall in the new show My Generation.
Even though I saw Mehcad on tv many times, it was not until he appeared on True Blood that I really took notice. There was something about Eggs that drew you in. He was a mystery that required solving. Mehcad is certainly not only talented but beautiful with a killer smile and a killer bod. That bod was certainly noticed by many as Mehcad got his biggest career boost to date by appearing along side Kellan Lutz, Hidetoshi Nakata and Fernando Verdasco in the Calvin Klein X underwear campaign that launched a couple of months ago.
