Managed to make a good transition from model to actor, Channing Tatum surely has created an attainment that only few of his ilk could accomplish to firmly position himself among the group of Hollywood's rising stars of the 21st century. The oldest of eight children born Channing Matthew Tatum on April 26, 1980 in Cullman, Alabama to a wealthy family, he passed his early childhood going between the town and Mississippi to spend the summers with his grandparents before finally settled there at the age of six. Growing up as an athletic yet somewhat problematic kid, the ninth-grade boy then was sent by his parents to a military boarding school where he became actively involved in football and even earned an athletic scholarship to flourish his sports skill in West Virginia's Glenville State College.
Channing Tatum shot to stardom as the star of "Step Up" (2006), a classic high school romance set in the world of competitive dance which showcased the former model's ripped physique and hinted at untapped dramatic depths. Tatum enjoyed another teen success with "She's the Man" (2006), before unveiling surprising acting chops in the acclaimed coming-of-age drama, "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" (2006), which was a hit at that year's Sundance Film Festival and earned the newcomer a nomination from the Independent Spirit Awards. With a prominent role in the war drama "Stop-Loss" (2008) and big budgeters "Public Enemies" (2009) and "G.I. Joe" (2009), Tatum carved out a career playing imposing Brando-esque physical characters with a believably sensitive bent.
