Biography And Filmography:

Playful and smart, this openly gay and young looking actor spent ten years on a theater stage before winning the breakout role as Dr. Zack Addy on the television medical series "Bones", where a cynical and lonely forensic anthropologist and a cocky FBI agent partner up to solve unsolved murders.

Eric Millegan graduated from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan with a degree in Musical Theater, where he appeared in numerous stage and theater productions, including a role in the Broadway revival of "Jesus Christ Superstar", and the male lead in a musical variation of the cult film classic "Harold and Maude." But by 2005, Eric was looking to leave the theater and try a career in Hollywood, so he moved to Los Angeles for the pilot season and auditioned for any and every role he could find.

His first Hollywood role was as the voice of Jamie in the dramatic gay-themed short "Soda Pop" (2001), about Jamie, a young man in a rural town who becomes fascinated by Norberto, a Spanish exchange student. Another small role in the little seen "On_Line" (2002) cast Eric as Ed Simone, a friend of a computer whiz on the rebound from a disastrous break-up who starts an adult Internet site with his roommate. But they are soon caught up in the erotic nature of the chat sessions they host, changing both their lives. 

Millegan then made a few guest appearances on such shows as "100 Centre Street", "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm", before appearing in a supporting role in the thriller "The Phobic" in 2006. 

In 2006, Eric got the role that actors dream of, as Zachary Uriah Addy on the mystery crime drama "Bones", as a 27-year-old former child prodigy who is already well-educated and good at what he does. With an IQ over 164, Zack graduated college at age sixteen and joined the forensic team at the Jeffersonian as Dr. Brennan's Graduate Student. The character of Zack is not very skilled in the area of dating, relationships, or anything social, and his only on and off love interest is "Naomi in Paleontology", who hinted that she was dissatisfied in his sexual prowess. 

Viewers loved the character, and the young actor became an overnight Hollywood success story.
