Career
Fehr has modeled for Levi's, Calvin Klein, Emporio Armani, DKNY Jeans and his pictures appeared in magazines. In 1996 he was cast in an early Internet soap opera, CR6. He broke into television in 1997 when he was cast in Breaker High. He enjoyed a regular role on the Sci-Fi TV series Roswell from 1999 to 2002. In 2001, Fehr starred in the U2 video "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of". He plays a rookie football player named Paul Hewson (Bono's real name), who blows what would have been the game winning kick in an American football game as the ball hit the goal post. He appeared in Vanessa Carlton's video "Pretty Baby".
Since 2008, he has starred as Jake Stanton in the ABC mini-series Samurai Girl, and he has had a recurring role as the character Jared Booth on Bones. Fehr recently played a businessman in A Christmas Kiss and the navigator of a U.S. warship in the movie X-Men First Class.
