Riley Smith (born on April 12, 1978 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa) is an American actor and former male fashion model. He was discovered at a local mall in his hometown by a local talent scout to fly to New York City to compete at the International Modeling and Talent Association (IMTA) Convention. Smith was signed on to a Tommy Hilfiger modeling campaign. He used the money he earned to pay for his acting classes. Three months later, Smith flew to Los Angeles to do a screen test for the 1998 WB pilot Minor Threat. He landed his first audition for a network pilot and soon moved to Los Angeles. The pilot was not picked up.
He has gone on to do five prime time network pilots, more than a dozen guest-starring roles and three series. He appeared in the films Eight Legged Freaks, Not Another Teen Movie, Johnny Clay, Radio and New York Minute. He had a recurring role in the Emmy-nominated CBS series Joan of Arcadia, the shortlived WB series Summerland and the NBC show Hawaii.
