Who is Nick Lachey?

Nick Lachey first rose to fame in the late '90s as a member of the boy band 98 Degrees. After the band's hiatus in 2002, he embarked on a solo music career, releasing two albums. However, it was his transition to television that brought him even wider recognition.

In 2003, Lachey and his then-wife Jessica Simpson starred in the reality TV show "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica." The show ran for three seasons and gave viewers a glimpse into the couple's daily life. The show was a massive success and made Lachey a household name.

Following the end of "Newlyweds," Lachey began to transition his career to acting. He landed several guest-starring roles on TV shows like "Charmed" and "Hope and Faith" before landing a recurring role on the TV series "One Tree Hill."

However, it was his role as a spokesman for Procter & Gamble's "Tide Coldwater" campaign that really cemented his status as a commercial actor. The ad campaign featured Lachey discussing the benefits of washing clothes in cold water, and his likable personality made him the perfect fit for the role.

Since then, Lachey has continued to take on acting roles, appearing in TV movies and several episodes of the series "Hawaii Five-0." He's also continued his musical career, hosting the music competition show "The Sing-Off" and touring with 98 Degrees. With his talent and charm, it's clear that Nick Lachey will remain a sought-after commercial and TV actor for years to come.
