Kevin Anderson
A graduate of Chicago's Goodman School of Drama in his home state of Illinois, Anderson numbers among his prestigious stage credits the Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," for which he received a Tony Award nomination, as well as an Outer Critics Circle Award and Drama Desk Award; the Broadway production of "Orpheus Descending" opposite Vanessa Redgrave, which he later reprised with the actress in the television adaptation, and playing opposite Patti Lupone in the premiere stage production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Sunset Boulevard" in London.

Anderson made his feature film debut in "Risky Business," although his real career breakthrough came after appearing in the Steppenwolf production of "Orphans," where he gained national critical acclaim for his riveting performance as the semi-literate, frenetic "Phillip." Anderson moved with the play to New York, and then went on to reprise his role opposite Albert Finney on the London stage and in the film version of "Orphans," directed by the late Alan J. Pakula.

From that point on, Anderson's career continued to gather speed -- he starred as opposite Richard Gere in "Miles From Home," followed by "In Country," co-starring Bruce Willis. The hit film "Sleeping With The Enemy" in which Anderson starred opposite Julia Roberts, established him as one of Hollywood's promising young leading men. Anderson's additional feature film credits include "Liebestraum" directed by Mike Figgis, "Hoffa," "Rising Sun," "The Night We Never Met," "Firelight," "Eye of God," and "A Thousand Acres."

Anderson made his network television series debut in the drama series "Nothing Sacred" with his portrayal of "Father Ray," a compassionate, strong-willed, unconventional Catholic priest. The role earned him several awards, as well as a Golden Globe nomination. His additional television credits include the cable telefilms "Power and Beauty," "Ruby's Bucket of Blood," "Monday Night Mayhem" and the mini-series "The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer."
