Chad Tyler Lindberg, born on November 1, 1976, in Mount Vernon, Washington, is a versatile American actor known for his memorable performances in both film and television.
The son of Luwana and Pete Lindberg, Chad attended Mount Vernon High School. His acting career began with a role that would set the stage for his future success.
Here's a detailed look at his extensive filmography.
Early Career and Breakthrough Roles
Chad Lindberg earned his first substantive role in a feature film as Rory in the 1997 gothic thriller "Black Circle Boys." He began his acting career as Rory in Black Circle Boys at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival.
In the late '90s, he played several bit parts in television series like the alien conspiracy thriller "The X-Files" and the teen horror cult favorite "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." From there, he made several guest appearances on popular television shows, such as ER, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and The X-Files.

In 1999, Lindberg starred as O'Dell, one of the scrappy and innovative Rocket Boys in "October Sky," the tale of a future NASA scientist's forays into rocketry as a youth.
Lindberg's most notable feature-film role came soon thereafter, with the blockbuster muscle-car action movie "The Fast and the Furious." In this testosterone-driven film, Lindberg stood out as the more cerebral Jesse, a scrawny kid who worked under the car hoods, and toward whom the larger, more macho characters (Vin Diesel, Paul Walker) felt protective. The "older brother" attitude towards Lindberg's character provided one of the high-octane film's few emotionally poignant moments.
