Hogan began his career in 1978 and has starred in numerous TV shows, plays, radio dramas and operas. He started in plays at the Shaw Festival.[2]

He made his film debut in the Peter Fonda trucker picture High-Ballin' (1978). He and his wife soon became a popular television couple, as the stars of the 1983 Canadian series Vanderberg and the 1986 Canadian-German series The Little Vampire. In 1985, he also starred in the children's film The Peanut Butter Solution.

Hogan portrayed Jack Budyansky in Diplomatic Immunity (1990) and in Solitaire (1991). He was nominated for a Genie Award for Best Supporting Actor for the former role and won it for the latter. In 1998, he portrayed Tony Logozzo in Cold Squad (1998). Hogan was nominated for the Gemini Award for Best Actor in a Dramatic Program or Miniseries, for the 2003 telefilm Betrayed.

From 2003 to 2009, Hogan starred as Colonel Saul Tigh, Executive Officer of the Battlestar Galactica on the Sci Fi Channel television program Battlestar Galactica. He portrayed Irwin Fairbanks in The L Word (2004–2006). He also had a recurring role on the hit MTV show Teen Wolf (2012-2017) as Gerard Argent, the werewolf-hunting grandfather of Allison Argent and the latest nemesis of main protagonist, Scott McCall.

He made guest appearances on Millennium (1997), The Outer Limits (1997), Andromeda (2002), in the two-hour premiere of Monk (2002),[3] Dollhouse (2009), Numb3rs (2009), Warehouse 13 (2009), Psych (2010), Supernatural (2011), and the third season of the sitcom Husbands.[4][5]

Hogan's movies include Road to Saddle River, Clearcut, Stella, Cowboys Don't Cry and The Cutting Edge and the telefilms Dead Man's Gun, Shadow Lake, Scorn, Shadow Realm and Nights Below Station Street, for which he received the Manitoba Motion Picture Industry Association's Blizzard Award for Best Leading Actor.[6] He appeared in the romance horror film Red Riding Hood (2011).[7]

Hogan has also lent his voice to the video game industry, providing the voice of Captain Armando-Owen Bailey in the role-playing games (RPG) Mass Effect 2[8] and Mass Effect 3, as well as the opening character, Doc Mitchell, in Fallout: New Vegas.[9] Hogan also voiced the character General Tullius in the RPG, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.[10] Most recently, he lent his voice as Samael in the American release of the Korean multiplayer role-playing game TERA (2012).[11]

Personal life

[edit]

On February 17, 2020, Hogan sustained a brain injury after falling and hitting his head. This caused paralysis of his left side, memory loss, and dysphagia.[12] The slip and fall accident happened at a dinner event following a Battlestar Galactica fan convention.[13]
