He has a younger sister, Tori.¹² He is of Russian, French, and Native American descent.

Career

Balfour appeared on the kids TV show Kids Incorporated for one season in 1991. In 1997, he appeared in the pilot for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as one of the show's very first victims. Years later, Balfour appeared as a dancer in the music video for the song "Fergalicious" by fellow Kids Incorporated alumnus Fergie. He appeared as a regular cast member in three short-lived TV shows. NBC's Hawaii was cancelled after seven episodes in 2004, UPN's Sex, Love & Secrets was cancelled after four episodes in 2005, and in March 2006, Balfour debuted as Brian Peluso on producer Dick Wolf's short-lived NBC crime drama, Conviction which lasted one season. Balfour was also a guest star on the hit show Dawson's Creek in the ninth episode of the first season.

He starred in the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre opposite Jessica Biel. He played a minor character in several episodes of The O.C., as Eddie, Theresa's fiancee, and in the hit HBO show Six Feet Under, as Claire's thuggish boyfriend, Gabriel Dimas, during most of the show's first season.

Balfour appeared in eight episodes of the first season of 24 as computer technician Milo Pressman in 2001. Five years later, Balfour reprised the role for nineteen episodes of 24's sixth season before leaving the show by his own request. Most recently Balfour appeared in ABC's "Life on Mars" as Eddie Carling, the brother of detective Ray Carling played by Michael Imperioli.

He is the face for the new Valentino male fragrance, Valentino V.

In September 2009, Balfour appeared in an episode of Monk alongside Louis Lombardi. The two had previously co-starred together during season six of 24. In that same month, Balfour booked a recurring role on the new CW drama show The Beautiful Life, but the show was cancelled after it's second episode and production was shut down immediately.
