Robert Clark Gregg (born April 2, 1962) is an American actor, screenwriter and director. He co-starred as Christine Campbell's ex-husband Richard in the CBS sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine, which debuted in March 2006 and concluded in May 2010. He is also known for playing Agent Phil Coulson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and Thor).

Early life

Gregg was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to an Episcopalian priest father, Bob Gregg. He grew up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Gregg attended Ohio Wesleyan University as an undergraduate and went on to get a BFA from New York University, Tisch School of the Arts, where he finished in the class of 1986.

Career

Gregg at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International.

Gregg has been featured in a number of supporting roles in films, such as Lovely & Amazing, In Good Company, and The Human Stain, and a number of guest spots on TV series, such as Will & Grace, Sports Night, Sex and the City and The West Wing. He also wrote the screenplay for the 2000 thriller What Lies Beneath.

He is the director and screenwriter of the 2008 film Choke, based on the Chuck Palahniuk novel of the same name, starring Sam Rockwell.

In 2008, Gregg appeared in the film Iron Man as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson. In 2010, Gregg reprised his role as Agent Coulson for Iron Man 2. Gregg had since signed up for a multiple film deal as the character with Marvel Studios. In 2011, he returned again as Coulson for Thor. Gregg noted his being a part of the expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe as being very exciting, "Agent Coulson was one of the guys who wasn't really in the comic books, and he was a very kind of small role in 'Iron Man," he said, "and I was just very lucky that they chose to expand that character and chosen to put him more into the universe of it. It's really a blast!" Following on from his appearance in Thor, he will again reprise his role in The Avengers.
