Cyrus Legg was born in Rhinebeck, New York and lived in Kingston, New York until he was age 6. His family then relocated to Kailua-Kona, Hawaii in 1994. Legg quite literally grew up "on the beach" with surfing as his middle and high school 'sport' competing in the National Scholastic Surfing Association for 5 years. He then moved to Honolulu, Hawaii for college at just 17 years old after graduating from Kealakehe High School. Before moving, was given the choice by his parents to pursue his 'acting dream' on his own bill and move to Los Angeles or accept a full ride from his parents and begin college at the University of Hawaii. He promptly decided the dream of acting could be pursued at a later date.While in Honolulu, Hawaii he attended Kapiolani Community College for one year and decided to move to San Jose, California to attend the San Francisco Comedy College, taught by comedian Kurtis Matthews. Living there he became fascinated by creating funny character impersonations on stage and off in front of friends. Upon his quick return to the islands he won a stand-up comedy competition and was invited back to do a showcase with local professional comedians at the same venue. His brother Darieus Legg, was simultaneously getting very interested in film and promptly purchased a video camera thus piquing the interest of Cyrus to become the star of his brother and friends many winning short films at the local short film competitions in Honolulu.Legg continued (to once again) begin his B.S. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and at the same time take a few elective classes in theatre. In his second theatre class, he auditioned and landed the role of Peter Semyonych in The Good Doctor, his first ever live theatre stage performance at Kapiolani Community College. After realizing the love for the stage he would go onto to play 'Dakin' in the first ever Hawaii production of "The History Boys" directed by Brad Powell at The Actor's Group in Honolulu. After the one-month run of "The History Boys" Powell then asked Legg back, to play the supporting role of 'Frank Corelli' in the original stage production of "The Ring of Fire" written by local playwright Nancy Moss. A stretching and disturbing role for Legg that tested the true bounds of his acting especially being so new to the art form. He portrayed the character 'Frank Corelli' a U.S. Army Veteran who returns back to his family with a severe case of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). A role that ended up giving Legg amazing reviews in the local newspapers and ultimately leading to sold-out audiences on the last two weeks of the show's one-month run.Now signed with an agent Legg began to audition for small roles on the last two seasons of the television series "Lost" where he became friends with the casting director, Rachel Sutton. Also, at the time he played a supporting role in his brother's first feature length production "Ecila", Cyrus's first film debut that was premiered at the 2010 Hawaii International Film Festival. In the midst, maintaining contact with Sutton was crucial, even though he did not land any parts on "Lost". In early August of 2010, Legg was called in for his first audition on "Hawaii Five-0" and surprised to find Sutton became the new casting director since "Lost" wrapped. The part was given to Legg as a guest-starring role and gave him the chance to show his talent on national television and join the union AFTRA. Playing a young womanizer drugging innocent girls for the Chinese mob and their sex-trafficking business, he gets 'booked' by the infamous Steve McGarret (Alex O'Loughlin) and Danny "Danno" Williams (Scott Caan). An amazing opportunity for Legg which lead to his ultimate decision that it was time to make the big move to Los Angeles after graduating college in May 2011. He resides in Hollywood, California.
