Andrew St. John makes his series regular debut starring in The CW's new family drama "Life Is Wild," as Jesse, a teenager whose increasingly rebellious actions trigger the family's move to South Africa for a fresh start.

He will also make his film debut in "The Caretaker," in which he has a lead role opposite Jennifer Tilly. St. John is not entirely new to television as he has made guest-star appearances on such series as "What I Like About You," "Vanished," "Criminal Minds" and both "CSI: Miami" and "CSI: NY."

Born in Millinocket, Maine, St. John moved to New Haven, Connecticut soon after with his mother. He remained until college, attending Southern Connecticut State. A month before finishing his second year of college, he met a talent manager at a scouting event and headed west two months later. Less than a year after he arrived in Los Angeles, he made his television debut on the Emmy winning daytime drama "General Hospital."

When he's not on the set, St. John, who resides in South Africa for the filming of the show, enjoys tennis, hiking, weight training, boxing and video games
