Childhood and Family

Milo Anthony Ventimiglia is the younger child of Carol and Peter Ventimiglia. He was born in the town of Anaheim, California, on July 8, 1977.

Shortly after Milo's birth, doctors discovered he had a facial nerve condition. This condition left the left side of his face with limited movement, creating a slight asymmetry that became noticeable when he smiled. As time went on, Milo began idolizing Sylvester Stallone, who had a similar condition. That slightly crooked smile became the actor's signature look, captivating fans worldwide.

He was raised alongside his sisters, Laurel and Leslie. From an early age, the youngest Ventimiglia was passionate about theater and performed in school productions. The boy's second passion was rock music. He also had leadership qualities: he was a school star and served as a president of a School Council.

After graduation from high school, Milo went to California where he entered the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), the Department of Art History and Theater Arts History. His parents supported him, so he didn't have to work as a waiter or walk dogs to pay for his rented apartment. All his free time Milo spent on improving his acting.

Career. Beginning

When Milo started to study at UCLA, he refused the services of an agent and gathered information about auditions and castings on his own. It didn't take long before the tall, dark-haired young man in his leather biker jacket and thin watch (a gift from his father) no longer had to pound the pavement at studio doors. In 1995 and 1996, Milo appeared in the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, played in episodes of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and EZ Streets.

The young actor earned solid money from supporting roles while still in school, eventually paying his father back for his education expenses. In 1999, Milo appeared in Speedway Junky and She's All That, and in 2000 he was invited to play in an episode of the successful crime project CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

A role in the multi-episode comedy-drama Gilmore Girls (2001 - 2007) was his first notable work. He starred in four seasons and was a guest star in the following seasons.
