Channing Matthew Tatum (born April 26, 1980) is an American actor, producer, and former model. After beginning his career as a fashion model, he has branched out into acting roles, appearing in the films Havoc (2005), Coach Carter (2005), Supercross (2005), She's the Man, then Step Up, and A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, all of which were released in 2006.
Born in Cullman, a small city in Alabama, Tatum has one sister. He has French, Irish, and Native American ancestry. His family moved to Mississippi when he was six, although he visits Alabama, where his mother's family still lives. Tatum grew up in the bayous near the Mississippi River, where he enjoyed a rural existence, including "All the rattlesnakes and alligators a boy could possibly chase, fishing every day, Pop Warner football league, stuff like that."
Tatum has been added to the cast of writer/director/producer Michael Mann's 2009 crime drama Public Enemies, in which will play the ill-fated 1930s American gangster Pretty Boy Floyd. Tatum is also slated for the coveted role of Duke in 2009's G.I. Joe, Paramount Pictures' live-action film based on the popular Hasbro action figures.
