Born: August 18, 1964

Following an early career that mainly included small parts on Empty_Nest, Murphy_Brown, and other assorted sitcoms, Craig Bierko made a number of unsuccessful stabs at stardom in feature films with leading-man roles in the poorly received comedies Sour_Grapes, The_Suburbans, and Dickie_Roberts:_Former_Child_Star. He also starred opposite Gretchen_Mol in 1999's sci-fi dud The_Thirteenth_Floor. In 2005, Bierko's career began to pick up steam when he bulked up to play boxer Max_Baer in Ron_Howard's Cinderella_Man. Playing opposite acting heavyweights Russell_Crowe and Paul_Giamatti, Bierko held his own and received high marks from critics. He parlayed the success of the performance into an extended arc on ABC's Boston_Legal, and in 2007 was cast as the lead on Fox's The Rules for Starting Over, a romantic sitcom about a divorced man's reluctant attempts at entering the dating scene.
