Born in Inglewood, California, Easton was raised and educated in the US and Ireland. He attended high school and then UCLA when he returned to the United States, and graduated with a double major in English and History.
His first major series role was a two-year stint on NBC's Days of Our Lives, playing Tanner Scofield when he was just 25. While on the show, he was featured in People Magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful Issue” in 1992, and left the role when his mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1993. Easton returned to Los Angeles to care for her until her death in 1994.
Easton returned to acting in 1995 with Fox's VR.5 as Duncan, co-starring with Fame alumni Lori Singer and Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Anthony Head. This was followed up with a turn as the lead in showrunner Stephen J. Cannell's Two. He played the dual roles of a Seattle professor who is framed for murder by his previously unknown twin, and is forced to go on the run from the FBI in order to clear himself of his brother's crimes. Easton co-wrote the episode “A.D.”, and also penned the series finale, “The Reckoning”.
