Full Bio Bearing the dark, sensuous, pretty-boy looks of a Calvin Klein poster boy, Adrian Grenier managed to make a distinct impression on audiences and critics with only a handful of films to his name. Born in 1976, Grenier grew up in Brooklyn and attended Bard College. It was during his studies that he was cast as the titular lead in the independent film The Adventures of Sebastian Cole (1998). His natural, unaffected portrayal of a young man growing up with his pre-op transsexual stepfather in 1980s upstate New York was a hit among critics, and Grenier was soon being touted as one to watch. That same year, the young actor -- who had made his film debut in the 1997 independent film Arresting Gena -- also gained a significant amount of exposure playing a member of Leonardo DiCaprio's entourage in Woody Allen's Celebrity. Following the critical and arthouse success of Sebastian Cole, Grenier was cast in his first mainstream film, Drive Me Crazy (1999). A teen film centered around the high drama of who to take to the prom, it placed the actor in a starring role opposite Sabrina, the Teenage Witch idol Melissa Joan Hart.
