Background

[edit]

Porter grew up in Winter Park, Florida, where he attended Lake Howell High School. He was a wide receiver on the football team at Lake Howell and graduated in 1997.[2] While a student at the University of Central Florida, he sang vocal percussion in an a cappella vocal group, 4: 2: Five (currently known as VoicePlay).[3][4][5] Porter also worked as a baby-sitter and "didn't have time to party."[6]

Career

[edit]

Prior to joining the cast of Friday Night Lights, Porter played Matthew in the original cast of the Off-Broadway hit Altar Boyz in 2004. In 2006, he temporarily took over the role of Casey Hughes in the soap opera As the World Turns, a role originally performed by Zach Roerig. Porter also played the role of Colin Thompson, the more visible part of the duo that fronts the fictional band PoP!, in the film Music and Lyrics (2007).

Porter also played the character Rex in the film Speed Racer (2008), which was directed and written by the Wachowskis. He played Bobby in the remake of Prom Night and Ben Wheatly in Bandslam, released in August 2009.[7] That same year, he was paired with The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star Alexis Bledel in the romantic comedy film The Good Guy, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.[8]

Porter is a fan of comic books and has auditioned for several comic book hero roles.[9] He is a fan of HeroClix,[10] filming unboxing videos of upcoming sets for the WizKids Facebook page.[citation needed] Porter performed and sang the song "Someone to Fall Back On" in Bandslam, and his song "Pretend" was included in the soundtrack. He was part of his high school's choral department and was a founding member of the groups 4:2:Five (now known as VoicePlay) and Mosaic. He eventually performed for Off Broadway with another a cappella band, Toxic Audio.[citation needed]

Porter portrayed "Randy" in the 2010 film Dear John, which was adapted from the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks.[citation needed]

In 2010, Porter joined the cast of CBS's legal drama The Good Wife as Blake Calamar, an investigator for Lockhart & Gardner, a law firm. His character appeared in 14 episodes.[11] Also in 2010, he starred in the pilot of the television series Nomads, which was developed for The CW, but it was not picked up by the network.[12] BuddyTV ranked him #10 on its "TV's 100 Sexiest Men of 2010" list[13] and #34 in 2011.[14]

Porter played a lawyer in the medical dramedy series Hart of Dixie alongside Rachel Bilson (who also co-starred with him in The To Do List). The series debuted on The CW in September 2011.[citation needed]

In 2013, he debuted in the second season of the video game series of The Walking Dead by Telltale Games as Luke, one of the main characters in the series. Porter also voiced another main character, Lukas, in Minecraft Story Mode by Telltale Games and Mojang. In 2017, Porter portrayed Colton "Colt" Cruise in the EA Sports game Madden NFL 18's Longshot mode.[15] In 2022, he also provided the voice for Heimdall, one of the main antagonists in Santa Monica studio's God of War: Ragnrarok.

In 2024, Porter competed in season eleven of The Masked Singer as "Gumball". He finished in second place, with Vanessa Hudgens as "Goldfish" winning the season.[16]

Personal life

[edit]

In April 2013, Porter married Kelsey Mayfield, a casting director and former University of Texas cheerleader whom he met on the set of Friday Night Lights.[17][18] One of his groomsmen was screenwriter and director Jamie Linden, a schoolmate at Lake Howell. In May 2015, Mayfield gave birth to their son, McCoy Lee. Their daughter, Clover Ash, was born in August 2017.[19][20]

Porter is also known for playing and promoting HeroClix, a tabletop miniatures game featuring Marvel and DC Comics characters. He films preview videos of upcoming product releases and hosts "HeroClix for Huntington's", an annual charity tournament supporting the Huntington's Disease Society of America. Porter was also created as a 'bystander' token and two separate figures playable in the HeroClix game.[21]

Porter is a big fan of Pokémon and plays Pokémon Go with his kids, sister, and father. [22][23]
