AUSTIN PECK
(Austin Reed)

Austin Peck returns to his role as "Austin Reed", boxer-turned-marketing-executive, on Days of our Lives.

Born in Hawaii and the younger of two children, Austin and his family moved several times due to his father's position in the Navy, finally settling in Los Angeles when Austin was nine. He was sixteen when a talent agent discovered him and he made his television debut in a Kellogg's Pop Tarts commercial. Work as an international model soon followed and Austin was lucky to grace the pages of GQ, Vogue Hommes, British Vogue and Esquire before he eventually turned to acting. In 1995 he landed the role on Days of our Lives, taking over the popular role and quickly making the character his own.

Since leaving Days in 2002, Austin has added many small and big screen credits to his name, including Strong Medicine, The District, Charmed, Sabrina, The Teenage Witch and independent movies Breaking Dawn and Dating Games People Play. He is also actively involved in the theater; as a member of Theater 40 in Beverly Hills he recently appeared to rave reviews in "Blue Silence" and "Japanese Death Poem."

When Days expressed interest in bringing Austin and his character back to Salem, he jumped at the chance to return to his old stomping ground. "After swimming around the ocean of Hollywood for a few years, it's nice to be back on the dry land of Days," Austin says. "I'm looking forward to having some fun."

A self-taught sketch artist, Austin lives with his wife and their two young sons in Los Angeles.
