Garret Dillahunt (born November 24, 1964) is an American actor. He is married to actress Michelle Hurd.
Early life
Dillahunt was born in Castro Valley, California and grew up in Selah, Washington state. He attended the University of Washington where he studied journalism. He later went on to study at New York University's graduate acting program.[1]
Acting career
After spending years on and off Broadway,[2] Dillahunt began pursuing television and film roles. He appeared as a regular in several short lived series on ABC and Showtime and landed guest spots on popular TV shows such as The X Files and NYPD Blue[3] among others, before playing two distinctly different characters on the HBO series Deadwood; Jack McCall in 2004 and Francis Wolcott in 2005. He played a recurring role on the USA Network series The 4400.
Dillahunt portrayed the recurring character Steve Curtis for three seasons on ER (2005, 2006). He followed that up with the role of Dr. Michael Smith in the 2007 HBO drama, John From Cincinnati. He played John Henry/Cromartie on FOX's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and a Russian mobster named Roman Nevikov on NBC's Life. He can also be seen as Mason Turner, a paralyzed serial killer, on the CBS show Criminal Minds' season 4 finale.
Film roles include Ed Miller in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Wendell in No Country For Old Men. His 2009 film roles included Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Wes Craven's The Last House On The Left and the Indie horror film Burning Bright.[4]
It was announced on August 20, 2009 that Garret would square off with Rosie Perez on an episode of Law & Order: SVU in the fall of 2009 about pedophiles' rights. Garret played the head of a pedophilia organization. "It's called 'Hardwired,'" executive producer Neal Baer said, "because they believe that pedophilia is [a genetic predestination]."[5] He guest starred as the mysterious and deadly Simon Escher in the Burn Notice third season finale airing March 4, 2010 on USA,[6] later reprising the role in the show's fourth season.
Dillahunt currently stars as Burt Chance in the FOX-TV comedy series Raising Hope. In 2010 Garret Jumped off a bridge for photographer Tyler Shields [7] http://www.tylershields.com/2010/07/20/garret-dillahunt/
