John Corbett

John Joseph Corbett Jr., born May 9, 1961, is an accomplished American actor, singer, and musician. He gained fame through his roles on major television series such as Chris Stevens on Northern Exposure (1990–1995), Aidan Shaw on Sex and the City (2000–2003), Max Gregson on United States of Tara (2009–2011), and Seth Holt on Parenthood (2011–2015). His film career includes illustrious roles in the My Big Fat Greek Wedding franchise, Raising Helen (2004), The Messengers (2007), Sex and the City 2 (2010), Ramona & Beezus (2010), and the To All the Boys film trilogy (2018–2021).

Aside from acting, Corbett has also pursued a career in country music. He released two studio albums: 'John Corbett' (2006) and 'Leaving Nothin' Behind' (2013). On the personal front, he was raised in Wheeling, West Virginia in an apartment block near the Ohio River. He started playing the guitar at age seven and worked as a security guard at the Capitol Music Hall when he was 16. Following graduation, he moved to Bellflower, California to live with his father and stepmother. He worked for Kaiser Steel in Fontana for six years and trained to be a L.A. county deputy sheriff, although he didn't pass the exam. Following an injury, he took up hairdressing and simultaneous studies in theater. The rest, they say, is history.
