Geoffrey Manton "Geoff" Stults (born December 15, 1977) is an American actor. He was born in Detroit, Michigan and raised in Colorado. He moved to Los Angeles and began to perform in the college theatre productions while attending Whittier College, in Whittier, California, on a football scholarship. He played professional football in Europe as a wide receiver for the Klosterneuburg Mercenaries (now known as Danube Dragons). He was on the long-running television show, 7th Heaven, in which he played Ben Kinkirk, the brother of Kevin Kinkirk portrayed by George Stults, his real life brother and with whom he currently lives with in Los Angeles. He plays Eddie Latekka in newly released drama October Road.
Growing up, Geoff had a passion for sports and played on teams throughout his childhood. He started his acting career at the age of seven by doing commercials alongside with his brother George. It wasn't until 2002 when Geoff received his first major role. He was given the role of Ben Kinkirk, a fireman at the department where Mary Camden was training and Mary's soon-to-be new love interest, on the show 7th Heaven. Although it was only after a year on the show that he was cut out, he remained a guest-star from time to time. Geoff is very close to his family and spends a good amount of time with them.
