Biography
Born in New York in 1980, Sandvoss grew up in the suburbs of New York City and attended school there and in Connecticut before enrolling at Harvard University.
At Harvard, he was active in the artistic community, pursuing amateur photography, studying poetry and American prose, and often choosing edgier roles in student-written plays as well as in such classics as Shakespeare (Romeo & Juliet, Julius Caesar) and Bertolt Brecht (Galileo, Ba'al). In addition, he directed readings of his own work at Harvard and wrote criticism and essays for several undergraduate periodicals.
While at Harvard he commuted back and forth from New York City to pursue professional acting and modeling. He graduated from Harvard with the distinction Cum Laude.
Sandvoss's break as an actor came when he landed the role of a football star competing against Will Estes in the NBC drama series "American Dreams." His other television roles include appearances on "Dr. Vegas", "Nip/Tuck", "The Inside", "Cold Case", and "E-Ring".
Sandvoss made an impressive feature-film debut in the 2003 independent film Latter Days. In it he played "Elder Aaron Davis," a Mormon missionary from Idaho who moves to Los Angeles and falls in love with a West Hollywood party boy, played by Wes Ramsey. His second feature film was 2005's Rumor Has It, starring Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Mark Ruffalo and Shirley MacLaine. He finished off 2006 in his role as Razor in the indie feature, "Price To Pay". Sandvoss began filming his role of Danny in the horror film "Buried Alive" in June, 2006 for a reported 2007 release.
