Evan Handler (born January 10, 1961) is an American actor and leukemia survivor who is perhaps best known for playing Harry Goldenblatt, Charlotte's divorce attorney and later husband, on Sex and the City and Charlie Runkle, Hank's comically bumbling friend and agent, on Californication.

Acting

Handler has appeared in television dramas and sitcoms including Six Feet Under, Law & Order, The West Wing, Miami Vice, Sex and the City, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (as staff writer Ricky Tahoe) , Ed, Friends, Lost and 24. He was a co-star in the ABC sitcoms It's Like, You Know... and Hot Properties and starred in the ill-fated FOX sitcom Woops!. In 2000, Handler portrayed Larry Fine in a made-for-TV biopic of The Three Stooges. Handler can currently be seen on Californication where he plays Charlie Runkle, the best friend and agent to David Duchovny's character, Hank Moody.

Writing

Handler is also an author. His first book, Time On Fire: My Comedy of Terrors, told the story of his unlikely recovery from Acute Myeloid Leukemia in his mid-twenties. His second, It's Only Temporary...The Good News and the Bad News of Being Alive, was released in May, 2008.

Handler was born in New York City, the son of Enid Irene, a mental health administrator, and Murry Raymond Handler, an agency owner and advertising designer.
