TAtum growing up
Channing was born April 26, 1980 in Cullman Alabama. He was the only child of Glenn and Kay Tatum. Growing up he never had any kind of acting encouragement around his life. He was involved in sports to keep himself out of trouble. He was finally sent to a Catholic school which got him involved in football even more than he already was. He was offered a scholarship for football but later declined the offer. After he declined the offer he worked at many different odd jobs such as, construction worker, a model, a salesman, and a mortgage broker. He modeled for different companies, that got him comfortable to going on stage, in front of a huge crowd.
