Born: May 24, 1967

Actor Eric Close found his breakthrough role on the prime-time serial drama Sisters (1991), opposite Julianne_Phillips, Sela_Ward, and Swoosie_Kurtz. Close's performance as a policeman in the sixth season of the program established his onscreen reputation as a solid and reliable performer. Alongside that program, Close landed roles in low-rent films such as Hercules and the Lost Kingdom (1994) and the made-for-television soaper The_Stranger_Beside_Me (1995). The actor then received second billing after small-screen mainstay Michael_Biehn in the Western series The_Magnificent_Seven (1998), joined the regular cast of the short-lived sci-fi drama The_Sky_Is_Falling (1999), and scored a lead in Glenn_Gordon_Caron's eccentric, short-lived superhero series Now and Again. Close drew his largest audience, however, with his contributions to the outstanding crime-investigation drama Without a Trace, as Martin Fitzgerald, the missing-persons agent amorously, and perhaps unwisely, involved with colleague Samantha Spade (Poppy_Montgomery).
