He is of Sicilian descent on his father's side and a combination of Irish, English, Scottish, French, Cherokee, and Indian descent on his mother's. He was born with dead nerve endings in his lower left lip which is the end result of the hook in his mouth when he speaks.

Milo attended El Modena High School in Orange, California, where he wrestled and held the office of president in student government . His nose is slightly crooked because he broke his it several times from wrestling. He graduated in 1995. At the age of 18, Ventimiglia received a scholarship to study at the American Conservatory Theater for their summer program. He attended UCLA as an English major for four years but dropped out to pursue an acting career.

Career Attributes

At 18 years of age, Ventimiglia started auditioning, booking jobs, and working his way up. He received a scholarship to attend the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, California for their summer program. From there, Ventimiglia studied for a while at UCLA before landing a role on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Milo has also guest starred on series such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and Boston Public.

From 2001 to 2003, Ventimiglia played brooding teen Jess Mariano on Gilmore Girls. He signed on for a spin-off of Gilmore Girls, entitled Windward Circle, which was going to be focused on the relationship between Jess and his estranged father, but the proposed series never made it to the air because of high filming costs. The season 3 episode Here Comes the Son, was the pilot for the California-set spin-off, which would have starred Ventimiglia, Rob Estes and Sherilyn Fenn. He also directed the 2003 and 2004 WB Image Campaigns for the WB. Ventimiglia returned to Gilmore Girls for a few episodes in seasons four and six since his 2003 departure.

In the third and final season of the NBC drama American Dreams, Ventimiglia played Chris Pierce, the rebellious boyfriend of Meg Pryor. Pierce and his single mother, Shelly, a Playboy bunny, move into the house next to the Pryors. Chris Pierce evades the draft, fearing he would be forced to fight in the Vietnam War, where Meg Pryor's older brother, J.J. was wounded. Chris and Meg escape Philadelphia in the series finale to Berkeley, California, much to the sadness of Meg's best friend, Roxanne Bojarski.

In 2005, he starred in the mid-season replacement series The Bedford Diaries, for which he did not have to audition. The producers had Milo, and only Milo, in mind for the role. However, the show lasted only eight episodes and was one of several shows not picked up by the newly-formed network The CW.

During his off-time from television and production work, he has had supporting roles in horror films such as Cursed and Stay Alive as well as starring roles in the short-film Intelligence and the full-length feature Dirty Deeds. Most recently, he played Robert "Rocky Jr." Balboa, the son of Rocky Balboa, in the latest Rocky installment Rocky Balboa which was released in December 2006. Currently, he is starring as Peter Petrelli in Heroes, a show about "ordinary" people discovering they have superpowers.

According to Yahoo! Movies, Milo has recently signed on to star in the horror film Pathology. The movie will co-star Charmed actress Alyssa Milano and will be directed by Marc Schoelermann for MGM. He can also presently be seen as the love interest of Pop singer Fergie in her latest music video for her single "Big Girls Don't Cry". Milo can also be found on the DVD release of Music and Lyrics in the deleted scenes. He plays the part of Vinny.
