Mehcad Brooks stars in ABC's "The Deep End" as Malcolm Bennet.

Mehcad Brooks also stars as Eggs (Benedict Talley) on Alan Ball's HBO hit series "True Blood," opposite Anna Paquin and Steven Moyer. A beneficiary of Maryann's hospitality, Eggs exchanged a dangerous and crime-ridden past for the security of lounging poolside at her house. It's unclear—especially to Tara—how long he's been in Maryann's circle and exactly what their relationship has involved.

With a coveted role on one of the most popular hit cable television shows and an ever-growing resume of feature successes, Mehcad Brooks is a talented young actor who has become a breakout star.

Mehcad Brooks is a SAG Award winner for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series and an Image Award nominee for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his performance on the ABC Drama "Desperate Housewives," playing the role of Alfre Woodard's son. It was Mehcad Brooks' portrayal of character Matthew Applewhite that led to his inclusion in Daily Variety's "Ten Young Actors to Watch" feature in August 2005. Mehcad Brooks' other recent television credits include appearances on "Dollhouse," "The Game," "K-Ville" and "Ghost Whisperer."

In 2008 Chris Carter ("X-Files") cast Mehcad Brooks as the lead in his soon to be released dramatic feature, "Fencewalker." Mehcad Brooks may be best known for his work in the Paul Haggis film "In the Valley of Elah," opposite Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron, and the Jerry Bruckheimer film for Disney, "Glory Road," directed by James Gartner and written by Chris Cleveland, telling the story of the 1966 college basketball team that was the first all-black starting lineup to win the NCAA national championship and was led by Coach Don Haskins.

An athlete himself, Mehcad Brooks grew up in Austin, Texas, where he was an All-State basketball player in addition to playing football and baseball. Mehcad Brooks was accepted into Yale University, but instead attended the University of Southern California to study at their prestigious School of Cinema-Television. Mehcad Brooks also modeled during his high school and college years. Mehcad Brooks' first breaks came as guest-starring roles on "Malcolm in the Middle," "Boston Public," "One on One" and "Cold Case." Mehcad Brooks also starred in the Disney television movie "Tiger Cruise."

Mehcad Brooks currently resides in Los Angeles.
