Meyer was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota May 7th, 1974. Meyer attended elementary school with Drew Barrymore (and was apparently her first kiss) and Beverly Hills High School. Through his elementary school, he came into contact with Barrymore's agent who signed Meyer. As a child, he was mostly seen in television advertisements. He also appeared as a definition giver on the game show Child's Play.

Meyer lent his broken-nosed strong screen presence to several roles as a druggie starting with his debut in "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" (1991), in which he was memorably dispatched in a video game. His breakthrough screen role was as the skateboarding stoner (a homage to Sean Penn in 1982's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High") in the teen hit "Clueless" (1995). Meyer offered similar characterizations in "The Craft" and "John Carpenter's Escape From L.A." (both 1996). He played the best friend of an Olympic hopeful in the biopic "Prefontaine" (1997) and as a high school student yearning to leave his hometown in "Dancer, Texas Pop. 81" (1998). In the highly touted "54" (also 1998), a look at life in the famous 70s nightspot, the actor was cast as a sexy busboy married to the coat check girl (Salma Hayek) and pursued by a bartender. (Ryan Phillippe) Meyer is close friends with Phillippe, with whom he and Seth Green share a production company.

Meyer would subsequently appear in films including "Go" (1999) and "The Insider" (1999) before graduating to full-fledged leading roles in Dreamworks hit "Road Trip" (2000), in which he again travels across country as a college student hoping desperately to retrieve a videotape of himself having sex with another girl, which was inadvertently mailed to the ex that he pines for. "Road Trip" marked the first instinct that Meyer's well-developed slacker sidekick persona had matured and could be tweaked to make him a full-fledged star. He was re-teamed with Amy Smart in yet-another racing cross country film, this time as part of the multi-plot ensemble of "Rat Race" (2001), a sort-of homage to the all-star screwball chase films of the 1960s like "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World." Meyer put in a winning supporting turn as Meg Ryan's brother in the whimsical fantasy-comedy "Kate & Leopold" (2001). Meyer also took on the role of Jon, the hapless owner of the famed comic book cat in the film adaptation of "Garfield" (2004).

He also starred in a "Blue State" with Anna Paquin in which he plays a passionately liberal guy on the campaign trail for John Kerry in the 2004 elections. He drunkenly pledges to move to Canada if Bush wins the election, and on his journey meets a mysterious young woman, played by Anna Paquin. Meyer costars with Matthew McConaughey in "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" (2009).

Meyer plays Joseph Gribble on the FOX cartoon King of the Hill. Meyer also is a writer/voice actor on Adult Swims "Robot Chicken".

Breckin Meyer was nominated for an Emmy for his writing on "Robot Chicken: Star Wars".

In 2008 Meyer guest-starred in the TV Series House, as a struggling artist with vision-problems, and appeared alongside Seth Green as employees of a Kansas comic shop the NBC show Heroes, in the two-part third-season episode, "The Eclipse" parts 1 and 2.

He's also a musician, playing drums in the punk band The Street Walkin' Cheetahs and on numerous shows with Tom Morello's The Nightwatchman, as well as Ben Harper, Cypress Hill, Slash and Perry Farrell at LA's Hotel Cafe. Meyer was the drummer for the Freedom Fighter Orchestra on Tom Morello's Justice Tour in 2008.
