His career trajectory represents one of the more successful examples of a reality television personality evolving into a respected performer.
Reality Television Beginnings
In 2004, he was included on the first season of MTV's hit reality series "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" alongside Kristin Cavallari, Lauren Conrad, Lo Bosworth and Trey Phillips. Colletti appeared on the show's first two seasons but opted out of the third and final season.

He was nominated for a Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Reality/Variety Star for "Laguna Beach." Three years later, he appeared in the spin-off "The Hills" and also picked up a job VJ'ing "Total Request Live" on MTV.
Acting Career
Following his reality TV fame, Colletti pursued acting professionally, enrolling in acting classes and auditioning for roles. His breakthrough came when he landed the recurring role of Chase Adams on "One Tree Hill" in 2007. Initially signed for a four-episode arc, his performance impressed producers enough to expand his role significantly, and he remained with the series until its conclusion in 2012. He appeared in 57 episodes. This period established him as a legitimate actor, helping him shed his reality TV image. Other TV and film credits include "Normal Adolescent Behavior," "What We Became," "Kill Katie Malone," "All About Christmas Eve," "Status: Unknown," "Celebrity Undercover," and "Hit the Floor."
