Biography
Freddie Prinze Jr, the son of the famed Freddie Prinze, star of Chico and the Man, was born on March 8, 1976, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Unfortunately, his father committed suicide when Freddie was very young, so Freddie never really got to know his father. Throughout his youth, he acted in plays at the Albuquerque Children's Theatre and the Due Drama Company. He attended three different schools in his life, which were Eldorado, Sandia, and La Cueva. Freddie graduated from La Cueva High in Albuquerque, NM in 1994. He then moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.
He first appeared in guest spots on shows like Family Matters. His big break came when he appeared in the film To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday. He played Claire Danes' boyfriend, “Joey Bost."

His next film was The House of Yes, in which he played Parker Posey's younger brother, "Anthony." Freddie’s next film, I Know What You Did Last Summer, was an instant success. He starred as Jennifer Love Hewitt’s boyfriend, “Ray Bronson”. The movie also stars, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillipe.

Freddie’s next film was the hit comedy, She's All That, where he plays the popular guy at school, "Zack Siler," who has just been dumped, and is dared to make over “Laney Boggs”, the not-so-popular artsie girl, played by Rachael Leigh Cook.
