Skeet Ulrich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Ulrich was raised in North Carolina by his father (his parents were divorced). The name "Skeet" originated from the nickname he was given by a coach of his because of his small figure (like that of a mosquito). Along with his slight frame he also had poor health, including numerous bouts with pneumonia and an open heart surgery at the age of 10.

After initially enrolling into the University of North Carolina to study Marine Biology, he transferred into New York University after high school and was subsequently noticed by the playwright David Mamet. After joining the Atlantic Theater Company as an apprentice, Ulrich performed with the group which got him noticed yet again, but this time it was by a director by the name of Stacy Cochran . She cast him into an Afterschool Special on ABC. With her help he also recieved his first notable role on screen in 1996 as the loutish boyfriend of Winona Ryder in Boys. He starred in four other movies, two with Neve Cambell , in the same year. In later years, Ulrich didn't have as much of a copious schedule of events, but there were still a few memorable roles that got him noticed by a growing audience.

He is currently married to Georgina Cates . They met at an Oscar party and had a small wedding on their farmland in Virginia with the only attending persons being the preacher and their canine companions.
