Donald Joseph "DJ" Qualls (born June 10, 1978) is an American actor, producer, and fashion model. He is best known for his work in films including Road Trip, The New Guy, Hustle & Flow, and The Core and for several appearances on television series such as Breaking Bad, Supernatural, Scrubs, Lost, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and The Big Bang Theory. He most recently co-starred in the FX comedy series Legit, and is currently co-starring in the Syfy horror series Z Nation, which premiered on September 12, 2014. In addition he is in the cast of the Amazon Studios show The Man in the High Castle.
Qualls was born in Nashville, Tennessee, one of five children of Debbie and Donnie Qualls. He was raised in Manchester, Tennessee and attended school nearby. He was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 14; after two years of treatment, his cancer was said to be in remission. According to Qualls the chemotherapy he received at an early age sped up his metabolism and impacted his system at a time of growth, "It stopped my development," which explains his slender frame. After graduating from Coffee County Central High School, where he was an active member in the Red Raider Band, Qualls attended King's College, London, where he studied English language and English literature. He returned to Tennessee and enrolled in Belmont University in Nashville, where he also began acting in a local theater company.
