Born and raised in Mount Vernon, Washington, Chad Tyler Lindberg is no stranger to the acting arena. At a young age, the actor was very much aware what his calling in life was. Ever the budding star, he participated in school plays and made countless home movies.
Upon graduating from Mount Vernon High School in 1995, young Lindberg packed his bags and headed out to the land of hopes and dreams – Hollywood, Ca. Luckier than most to move to California with hopes of making it in the industry, Chad landed his first on screen role two weeks after arriving; playing Burger Boss in Born To Be Wild.
Two years later, at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival, this star rose to critical acclaim for his role as Rory in Black Circle Boys. Most notably recognized for his role as Jesse, the stuttering mechanic in 2001’s The Fast and the Furious and more recently for his recurring role on CSI:NY playing Chad Willingham (A role of which the character was named after him).
In 2007, Chad Lindberg won the hearts of fans across the globe as the mullet-sporting, beer-swigging, brainiac hick know as Ash aka Dr. Badass in season 2 of the CW hit show Supernatural.
To those who know him, he’s the fun-loving guy next door that just happens to be an actor. Despite his 15 years in the industry, he is an incredibly grounded individual that always keeps his fans in mind; frequently making time to chat with them on twitter, facebook and myspace.
