Lucas Till

Lucas Till's Georgia-grown good looks and charm, as well as a natural talent for voices and impersonations, led to a childhood spent appearing in TV commercials and print ads around his hometown of Atlanta. Born in 1990, Lucas Till grew up on the military base in Fort Hood where his father, an Army lieutenant colonel, was stationed.

His mother quickly noticed his aptitude for copying voices and mannerisms, and after a family move to Atlanta, sought out a child talent agent. After a few years of working in print ads and local TV commercials, in 2003 Till landed his first film role in the "Pet Sematary"-inspired "The Lovesong of Edwerd J. Robble." He next set his sights on the role of Jack Cash, whose tragic death haunted his brother for the rest of his life, in the star-studded "Walk the Line," and endured multiple auditions before finally being selected. He made his TV debut in 2008 as the friend of a troubled teen on "House" (Fox, 2004-2012), and that same year starred as an unrequited crush in the music video for Taylor Swift's mega-hit "You Belong with Me." Further sealing his heartthrob status was another breakthrough role in "Hannah Montana: The Movie" as Travis, Miley's childhood friend turned secret crush.

By 2011 Till turned away from being "the boy girls crush on" and started taking roles of "boys who get to do cool stuff." That year he joined the financially successful but critically panned "Battle: Los Angeles" as a Marine corporal fighting against an alien invasion, and was chosen to portray the energy-blasting Havok in the high-profile hit "X-Men: First Class." He next produced and starred in the low-budget superhero film "Vs," mainly as a way to keep working when other offers weren't coming in, and was cast as a school bully who gets his comeuppance in the off-kilter horror film "Stoker," starring Mia Wasikowska as a teen who develops an unhealthy relationship with her mysterious uncle (Matthew Goode).

After co-starring in the thriller "Sins of Our Youth" (filmed in 2014 but unreleased until two years later), Till returned to the franchise that made his name with appearances in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (2014) and "X-Men: Apocalypse" (2016) before co-starring in psychological horror "The Disappointments Room." Till moved to television with his starring role as Angus MacGyver on the reboot series "MacGyver" (CBS 2016- ).
