Career
Hermann had brief stints on a variety of television shows that include the soap opera Guiding Light (1997–1998), the ABC Family show Beautiful People (2006) and the Lifetime original series Angela's Eyes (2006). Since 2002 he has had a recurring role as defense attorney Trevor Langan on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
He has made appearances in several commercials, such as the anti-tobacco "Fair Enough" ads, and has been the face for Persil ProClean detergent since the late 2010s.[3]
In 2006, he starred as Jeremy Glick in the feature film United 93.[4]

It began performances on February 15, 2007, in preparation for a March 11 opening; its final Broadway performance was on June 24, 2007.[5][6]
He also guested on 30 Rock during its first season, and starred in ABC's mid-season replacement series Cashmere Mafia as Davis Draper. In 2011, he appeared in the Broadway play War Horse, and made occasional appearances as Erin Reagan's ex-husband John "Jack" Boyle on Blue Bloods.[7][8][9]
Since August 2015, he has been starring on Younger, which is in its fifth season.[10] In March 2018, HarperCollins published Hermann's children's book If the S in Moose Comes Loose.[11]
