Attended Columbia University for MFA Acting Program 1995-1998
Graduated Dickson County High School, Dickson TN, 1991. Graduated from the University of the South in 1995. Was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity. Only child of pro golfer Nancy Smith and Playboy sports editor Anson Mount, II. Was Reluctant to play the role of Ben Kimble in "Crossroads (2002)" because he thought the movie, and the role, was too cheesy and lame. However, while working on the movie "City by the Sea (2002)", co-star Robert DeNiro encouraged Mount to take the part, being that DeNiro is a big Britney Spears fan. During breaks from filming "Sea", Mount and DeNiro would go over the script from the movie; Mount reading his lines and DeNiro reading Spears' lines!
