Nice Boy of the Week: Chad Lindberg

Chad Lindberg has appeared in so many Nice Girl’s favorites that we just had to make him this week’s Nice Boy. He was a fan favorite in the CW’s Supernatural, playing Ash, but his film and television credits are extensive. Chad will be appearing in an upcoming episode of The Cape on NBC.

Since moving to Hollywood fifteen years ago Chad Lindberg has been an in-demand actor who continually works in both film and television. His return to the CW’s “SUPERNATURAL” garnered the show its highest ratings of the season leaving the show’s fans wanting more. In 2010, Lindberg had three films released: the family crime drama Once Fallen, My Big Break, real life Hollywood Documentary and a remake of the 1970’s Horror Classic I Spit on Your Grave.

This season he will be seen as in NBC’s highly anticipated new series “THE CAPE.” Additionally, the original version and the remake of “I Spit on Your Grave” will be released February 8th on BluRay and DVD and “Once Fallen” is also available on DVD. “Once Fallen” stars Lindberg, along with Brian Presley, and Oscar® nominated actors Ed Harris, Amy Madigan, Tariji P. Henson and Peter Weller. Lindberg has built a long impressive body of work and a reputation as a unique actor who breathes life into the characters he creates.

A Washington native, Lindberg grew up in Mt. Vernon. A self-described natural ham, he made movies and videos since elementary school and while in Jr. High he auditioned for the local Seattle “Kid Biz” Talent Agency and was immediately signed. Lindberg booked his first audition and landed a two-line part as the “Burger Boss” in Warner Bros. Born to Be Wild. This and other roles in high-school productions confirmed he had been bitten by the acting bug.

After high-school, Lindberg continued working on his craft and at the age of 19 landed the first of many big breaks when he was cast as a lead in the indie film “Black Circle Boys” which filmed in Seattle. Soon after, Lindberg headed to Hollywood to seriously pursue acting as a career.

After only two months in LA he booked his first TV acting gig as a guest star on “BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER” and has not stopped since, moving seamlessly back and forth between TV and Film. Other guest star spots on hit shows soon followed, including: “ER” and “THE X-FILES,” “NYPD BLUE,” “COLD CASE,” “THE TERMINATOR” and “SON’S OF ANARCHY.” Studio and indie film roles include: “City of Angels,” ” Mercury Rising,” ” October Sky,” ” The Rookie,” ” The Flats,” ” Punk Love” and “Push,” co-staring with Chazz Palminteri.

Another big break in film came for Lindberg when he was cast in the hit action film “The Fast and the Furious” in 2001. Back on the small screen, Lindberg has had recurring roles on the hit show “CSI-NEW YORK” and the hugely popular CW series “SUPERNATURAL,” where he plays “Ash”, the charming, lovable mullet-wearing, beer-drinking computer tech. Lindberg frequently attends “SUPERNATURAL” conventions around the world also keeps in touch with his fans on Facebook and Twitter. His comedy videos can be seen on www.FunnyOrDie.com , including “Sven” The Uncool Vampire Blogger.
