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 Bryan Isaac Tatum Anderson on April 26, 1980 in Cullman, Alabama to a wealthy family, Channing Tatum 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 Channing Tatum then was sent by his parents to a military boarding school where Channing Tatum became actively involved in football and even earned an athletic scholarship to flourish his sports skill in a West Virginia's college.

Disliked the routine Channing Tatum had to carry out in order to maintain the scholarship, Channing Tatum boldly put a decision to leave all he had achieved behind and began a new phase in his life. Turning Channing Tatum's attention to dancing, Channing Tatum surprisingly passed the audition looking for some dancers to support Ricky Martin's music video of “She Bangs” which led him to earn job as a choreographer in Miami with the help of an on-the-set acquaintance. It was in this second largest city of Florida that Channing Tatum met a female model friend who afterwards introduced Channing Tatum to some modeling agencies, including the prominent Page Parkes Corporation. Signed by this company, Channing Tatum originally had little confidence to establish a fine career in this field, but gradually was able to develop it through a series of editorial shoots for magazines.

Later joined Major Models in New York City, Channing Tatum continued his path in modeling successfully, appearing in various magazines, fashion shows, also commercials, most notably that of Mountain Dew's "Drive" which wonderfully brought him to receive more attention from public. With this growing reputation, Channing Tatum boldly crossed to acting and made his way to land his first performance in an episode of “CSI: Miami” (2002) by 2004 before moved to the big screen production to film “Coach Carter” (2005) opposite Samuel L. Jackson. Much to Channing Tatum's delight, the sports flick amazingly scored high in the box-office with the domestic gross of over $67 million, consequently propelling the green-eyed guy to wider recognition across the country. This great achievement undeniably brought Channing Tatum to secure more roles onscreen, like in “Havoc” (2005) then “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints” and “She's the Man” which both slated to come up in 2006.
