Teddy Sears Movies
A native of Washington, D.C., frequent television actor Teddy Sears grew up in nearby Chevy Chase, MD, and began entering local beauty pageants during adolescence, which seemed poised to bring the photogenic young man ever closer to his then-goal of breaking into male modeling. Sears attended and graduated from the University of Virginia, then spent time manning a catamaran off the coast of Hawaii and posing in local photo shoots in and around the islands, but enjoyed his first real brush with widespread fame and recognition upon returning home to Maryland one summer and holding tenure as a lifeguard. A friend handed Sears an application for a contest on the Fox network christened The Sexiest Bachelor in America. Intrigued, Sears entered. He failed to win the competition when it aired in October 2000, but did appear on the program and through the experience gained the connections that propelled him into life as an actor. Sears maintained his most frequent presence on television, with guest spots on innumerable series programs including Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Ugly Betty, and Mad Men; producers frequently cast him as pretty boy types, boyfriends, surfers, or athletes. In 2007, Sears signed for one of his first major feature roles, with a supporting contribution to the family-oriented drama Firehouse Dog. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide- 2009

Hollywood's hottest canine commodity has gotten hopelessly lost after wandering away from his master, and now the former movie star has become the beacon of hope for a small-town firehouse on the verge of collapse. Rex is the dog that every child in America has fallen in love with. A pompous A-list barker whose list of perks overshadows that of even the most esteemed Hollywood actor, Rex 's fate takes an unexpected turn when a skydiving stunt goes awry and his handlers assume that their cash-canine has perished as a result. Now, despite being very much alive, the former doggie diva has become just another mangy stray wandering the streets in search of a home. Lost in an unfamiliar city and pursued by animal control, Rex seeks refuge in a run down building that soon goes up in flames. Shane Fahey (Josh Hutcherson) is a rebellious preteen whose single-parent father, Connor (Bruce Greenwood), is struggling to care for his son and cope with the death of his brother, the former captain of the local fire department. Pressed with the responsibility of getting the crumbling inner-city fire house back in working order while helping his 12-year-old son deal with the untimely loss of a beloved family member, Connor just can't seem to convince Shane to keep his grades up and stop ditching school. Upon rescuing the unidentified Rex from the four-alarm blaze, Connor attempts to teach young Shane the meaning of responsibility by charging him with the task of locating the dog's owner. Despite an initial clash of personalities, the headstrong mutt and the disobedient adolescent soon form a strong bond. Subsequently adopted as the scrappy fire department's new mascot, Rex proves just the catalyst needed to reenergize the dejected firefighters and reform the once-tenuous bond between father and son. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
