Anders was born on March 11, 1981 in Grants Pass, Oregon. He is the son of Dr. Tony and Jeri Holt. He has three siblings; his biological brother Arik, his adopted brother Jason and adopted sister Maili. Anders began acting in school plays at a young age but spent most of high school playing sports such as basketball and tennis. When he was a senior in high school, at 17, he played Philip the Apostle in a regional theater production of Jesus Christ Superstar. When he was 18 Anders won the part of George in his high school's production of Our Town; following that, he went on to portray Freddy Eynsford-Hill in a production of My Fair Lady. David played Philip the Apostle in a regional theater production of Jesus Christ Superstar when he was 17. He was accepted at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Pasadena, California, but decided to head to Los Angeles instead. After moving to Los Angeles, he took the stage name of David Anders due to another actor using the name David Holt. In 2001 Anders took a role playing a high school senior in the Olsen twins' series So Little Time. Later in 2001 Anders landed the role of Julian Sark in ''Alias''; originally a guest star, Anders was made a regular and lasted until 2006. Before his acting debut in ''Alias'', Anders worked at The Gap and taught tennis. Between 2001 and 2006 while working on Alias Anders made guest appearances on television shows such as ''Charmed'', ''CSI'' and ''Grey's Anatomy'', worked on an independent film, and was involved in several plays. In 2002 Anders played in the independent film, ''The Surge''. In December 2001 he appeared in The Source magazine in an ad for the rapper ''Canibus'', in which Anders doubles as Eminem. In 2005 Anders joined the cast of ''Beautiful'', an Off-Broadway rock musical, as the lead. ''Beautiful'' was shown during the New York International Fringe Festival. In the same year he participated in the film ''Circadian Rhythm''. In 2006 Anders worked on the horror film ''Left in Darkness'' alongside actress Monica Keena. In 2007 Anders played the role of ELI in the film of the same name, ''ELI''. He went on to be cast in a regular role in the second season of NBC’s hit ''Heroes'' as Adam Monroe/Takezo Kensei, a new character with the ability to regenerate. Anders was once again asked to use his British accent from ''Alias'', despite being an American actor. He is also working in two other movies; ''Into the Blue 2: The Reef'' and ''The Revenant''. He recently joined the eighth season of ''24''. Anders has guest starred in the TV series {{The Vampire Diaries}} in 2010 as [[John Gilbert]].
