Growing up in Los Angeles, Estes always enjoyed acting, starring in various commercials and sitcoms throughout his childhood. However, it wasn?t until his high-school graduation that he considered making a career out of the craft. ?Acting was always fun, but it wasn?t until I got older that I actually decided to focus my energy in that direction,? he says.

Previous to American Dreams, the actor was perhaps best know for his role as Seaman Ronald ?Rabbit? Parker in the World War II adventure film ?U-571,? starring opposite Matthew McConaughey and Jon Bon Jovi. His other movie credits include the independent features ?New Port South,? ?Hard Shell,? ?Terror Tract,? ?The Road Home? and playing a high school football phenom defending an autistic friend, in ?Blue Ridge Fall.?

Estes? television credits include ?It Had to Be You,? guest star appearances on ?7th Heaven? and ?The Fugitive? and the television films ?The Familiar Stranger? and ?See You in My Dreams? (starring Marcia Gay Harden and Aidan Quinn). In addition, Estes can be seen in Veronique Vial?s photo books: Men, Before 10am Too!! and Hollywood Splash.

Along with football, Estes enjoys gymnastics, movies, and jujitsu. His birthday is October 21.
