[edit] Early life
AuCoin was born in the Portland, Oregon suburb of Hillsboro, the son of Les and Susan AuCoin, and grew up in Oregon and Washington, D.C., where his father served as a United States Congressman from 1975 to 1993.[1][2] His first appearance on television was in one of his father's campaign commercials, in which he countered claims that his father was a tax and spend Democrat by humorously describing how cheap his father actually was.[3] AuCoin is a graduate of Georgetown Day School and Oberlin College.[3][4]
[edit] Acting career
AuCoin was a member of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival acting company in the early 1990s.[5] After relocating to New York, AuCoin landed small roles in several soap operas, including Guiding Light and The City. In the early 2000s, he appeared in episodes of The Sopranos and Law & Order.[3] AuCoin has since appeared in other television series, such as The Following,[6] Elementary, The Good Wife, White Collar, Gossip Girl, Body Of Proof, Blue Bloods, Kings, and Without A Trace. He played the regular recurring role of Peter Keatch in the CBS series Waterfront, which was cancelled before ever airing, despite having shot five episodes.[7][8]
In 2005, he appeared as the young Octavius in a Broadway revival of Julius Caesar, which starred Denzel Washington.[9] AuCoin has appeared in numerous other Off Broadway stage productions, including 2008's premiere of Ernest Hemingway's The Fifth Column,[10] 2009's Jailbait, by Deirdre O'Connor, directed by Suzanne Agins,[11] 2010's Happy Now?, by Lucinda Coxon,[12] 2012's LAByrinth Theater Company premiere of Radiance, by Cusi Cram, also directed by Suzanne Agins,[2] and, in 2013, the world premiere of Tanya Barfield's The Call, directed by Leigh Silverman in a joint production by Playwrights Horizons and Primary Stages.,[13][14] He recently starred in two La Jolla Playhouse productions; J.T. Rogers' Blood And Gifts, directed by Lucie Tiberghien,[15] and Arthur Kopit and Anton Dudley's world premier A Dram Of Drummhicit, directed by Christopher Ashley.[16]
His first major film role came in 2007, where he played State Department official Ellis Leach in The Kingdom. In 2009's Julie & Julia, AuCoin played one of the executives for the Houghton Mifflin publishing company who declined to publish Julia Child's soon-to-be-legendary cookbook.[3]
For the 2012 presidential election, NPR's Planet Money team cast AuCoin as their "Fake Presidential Candidate" to give voice to "major economic policies they could all stand behind."[17]
[edit] Personal life
AuCoin is married to dancer Carolyn Hall, winner of a 2002 Bessie Award for creative work in dance performance, and the couple lives in Brooklyn.[3][18]
