In high school, Routh was in swing choir and played the piano and trumpet. He has appeared in numerous amateur stage productions in Iowa, and briefly attended college before deciding to try acting as a career. His first professional role was a 1999 episode of a long-gone sit-com, Odd Man Out. Sharp-eyed viewers may remember Routh from a short stint on One Life to Live, and MTV's late-night soap opera Undressed. He has also appeared in single episodes of The Gilmore Girls, Cold Case, and Will & Grace.
