Kerr Smith grew up in Exton, Pennsylvania. Smith, whose first name was bequeathed to him by his grandmother, who carried it as her maiden name, will also be seen in the coming months in two independent features. In the improvisational comedy, "Kiss and Tell," he plays an arrogant womanizer. Giving a very opposite performance in the follow-up, he portrays a gay artist in the romantic comedy "Hit and Runway," which is currently screening in several film festivals. Smith is best remembered for his portrayal of Ryder Hughes on the CBS daytime drama "As the World Turns." In 1996, his outstanding performance earned him a Best New Actor Award from Soap Opera Magazine. Smith grew up in the Philadelphia suburb of Exton, Pennsylvania, where his competitive nature propelled him to excel in baseball, snow skiing, and student politics, first as class president and then as school president. His first dramatic performance was as Sir Edward Ramsey in his high school production of "The King and I." After high school, Smith followed his financial advisor father's advice by earning an undergraduate degree in "something sensible" -- Business Administration (Finance & Accounting) -- from The University of Vermont. As a Kappa Sigma, Chief Justice of the Greek Judicial Board and a member of the ski patrol in Stowe, Vermont, Smith's college days were "very social," by his own admission. After graduation, Smith returned to Exton to start a business marketing firm with his father. After realizing that he "hated the selling aspect, but loved making the presentations," it was time to become an actor. Smith's first acting job, as an extra in "Twelve Monkeys" with Bruce Willis, came immediately and coincidentally fell on his birthday. His first commercial came soon after. He sold his beloved Bronco II, moved to New York City and landed a part on "As the World Turns" within a few months. A self-taught pianist, Smith enjoys writing music in his Los Angeles home recording studio. He is currently writing a screenplay about a college incident which will remain under wraps until its finished. In the television show 'Charmed' he plays the role of Agent Brody, a FBI agent who knows about magic and demons and gives his help to the Charmed Ones and vice verca. He just wants to find out who killed his parents.
