David Conrad Biography
Born: August 17, 1967
American actor David Conrad represents a rarity in contemporary Hollywood: a classically trained thespian who continues to stride theater and popular filmed entertainment with great aplomb -- and considerable success in each arena. Trained dramatically at the Ivy League Brown University and at Juilliard -- the mecca of American actors -- Conrad delivered a series of Broadway and off-Broadway performances, in such productions as +Richard II, +Indian Ink, +Troilus and Cressida and +The Deep Blue Sea. Though Conrad's film roles stretch back to his college years -- with a turn in Mike_Jittlov's little-seen sci-fi comedy The Wizard of Speed and Time (1988) -- he generally remained off-camera until his early thirties. Small roles in the 2000 military drama Men of Honor (starring Cuba_Gooding_Jr. as the first black diver in the U.S.N.) and Woody_Allen's 2003 romantic comedy Anything_Else (starring Jason_Biggs and Christina_Ricci as romantic partners) represented Conrad's first major big-screen turns. Conrad also landed a couple of key recurring roles on series in the early 2000s. In the short-lived comedy drama Miss_Match, he played Michael Mendelsohn, a handsome but as yet unrealized suitor to attorney Kate Fox (Alicia_Silverstone). Conrad fared much better -- and received higher billing -- as Jim Clancy, the husband of medium Melinda Gordon (Jennifer_Love_Hewitt) in the series The_Ghost_Whisperer, a supernatural drama that quickly became a blockbuster.
