[edit] Personal life

Born in Atlanta (Georgia); Werkheiser discovered his gift for acting at an early age. Subsequently, his parents enrolled him in acting classes at the Talent Factory, a local children’s acting program. After landing a minor role in We Were Soldiers, Werkheiser and his mother moved to LA to pursue his acting career. Since his arrival in Hollywood, Werkheiser has landed several big roles on television, the biggest of which is his role as Ned Bigby on Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.

Currently, Werkheiser is pursuing both an acting and music career. He is also active in several charities, most notably the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation, which aids seriously ill children. He is also attending Laurel Springs School and lives with his father, a real estate executive; his mother, a homemaker; and his older sister, a student.[1][2]

Werkheiser has signed with Universal Records for his debut album, which is expected to be released later in 2008.[3] His album, which is described as being a combination of rock and pop, will feature him singing and playing the guitar.[4] Werkheiser has requested that he be able to co-write the lyrics and music to all his songs and has been working with artists including Tim Myers, Wally Gagel, and Charlie Midnight to help write his songs.[5] He has performed live shows with female vocalists Kristen Marie Hollyin and Britney Christian[6] and plans to go on live tours after the release of his album.[7]
