Who is Bryan Dattilo? One of television`s hottest stars, Bryan Dattilo is best known for portraying bad boy Lucas Roberts on NBC`s Days of Our Lives, a role he has played since 1993. Already, 2006 has been an exciting year for the heartthrob. Aside from his leading role on the internationally acclaimed daytime drama he has guest starred on CSI: NY and was cast in an exciting new project for MTV. His blazing summer storyline kept him from doing the series, though NBC and Corday Productions bent over backwards to try and make it happen. In recent years Cosmopolitan Magazine voted him one of the 100 Most Eligible Bachelors. He was a celebrity judge at the internationally televised 2005 Miss Universe Pageant in Bangkok and he has graced the covers of over 70 magazines. Bryan`s always unpredictable, often heartfelt, and sometimes outrageous antics have labelled him one of the most sought after talk show guests and a major draw at personal appearances nationwide.
Born outside Chicago, Illinois, he and his older brother Brent and sister, Kristin moved to Florida with their mom Peggy before heading to L.A. when Bryan was seven. Bryan`s sister was obsessed with show business and he reluctantly tagged along to acting classes soon after they arrived. "Then, it seemed like torture. Now I thank my mom for the experience that gave me my start in the business," he says. "It wasn`t easy for her as a single mother raising three kids on her own. But she`s the reason I got the training to do what I love." Away from the television studios, Bryan has a multitude of other passions -- including music. Growing up near the big cities of Chicago, Miami and living in Los Angeles, he has always been grounded by and connected to rap, rhythm n blues and hip-hop. "Creating music has been a dream of mine since I was a twelve-year-old playing `air-guitar` with my buddies," says Bryan. His single `Click, Gang, Mafioso` can be heard in the feature film Dirty Deeds. Bryan`s hobbies include restoring cars, working out and just about every sport imaginable. He is such a huge Lakers fan that he built a basketball court in his backyard in the purple and gold of his favorite team. In his quiet time, he enjoys writing poetry, playing with his three labs, renovating his home and spending quality time with his amazing son, Gabe. Single and dating, Bryan lives in North Hollywood.
