Accomplishments:
His father, Freddie Prinze Sr., was an actor who was most known for his role on the television show Chico and the Man. Unfortunately, his father committed suicide when Freddie Jr. was still very young, and he never really had the opportunity to get to know him. Still, the father's legacy lived on through the son, and from a very early age Freddie Jr. showed an interest in make-believe and acting.
When he attended La Cueva High School, he showed an acute interest in drama and he became a member of both the Albuquerque Children's Theater and the Duo Drama Company. FPJr. soon began auditioning for television roles when he finally finished high school in 1994.
Freddie moved out to Los Angeles in that same year. His first little step towards an acting career came with a guest spot on Family Matters. More guest spots, After School Specials and television movies followed. An attractive young star with a dark appeal, he was tailormade for boyfriend roles and bully roles.
When FPJr landed in Hollywood,the industry was prepping for a surge in teen-oriented programming which would be touched off by Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. By landing a role in the latter and its sequel, he was catapulted to stardom. Freddie's role in the films has proven fortunate, as they have given the visibility that is necessary for any wannabe star.
