Before this kid in his bow tie and suspenders was heading "back to the beach," he was just a little guy taking his Big Bird stuffed animal wherever he went... and skimboarding and skateboarding in Southern California.
If you were an MTV viewer during the early 2000s, you definitely would have seen this SoCal bro hitting the beaches of Laguna and goofing around with his high school buddies, and he definitely knew how to run the local surf shop!
Need one more clue? Perhaps you watched him alongside Sophia Bush on "One Tree Hill."
