Breckin Meyer got his start in acting when he met up with the agent of Drew Barrymore, who he attended school with. After appearing in several television commercials, he began appearing in movies, debuting in 1991's Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. His breakthrough role, however, came with 1995's Clueless: his portrayal of slacker Travis was arguably as iconic as Alicia Silverstone's character.
Meyer later appeared in numerous other films, such as 54, The Insider and Road Trip. The latter was his first leading role, although he still played a variation of the slacker role he introduced in Clueless. Later films include Rat Race and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.
Meyer also held an active presence in television, having appeared in The Jackie Wilson Show and The Home Court. However, his best work are behind the scenes: he has voiced characters in King of the Hill and Robot Chicken, and was also part of the latter's writing staff. He recently joined the cast of the TNT series Franklin & Bash.
Meyer is married to screenwriter Deborah Kaplan, with whom he has one daughter.
