Born: August 26, 1956

A native of Houston, TX, Brett Cullen graduated from that city's university, also finding time to compete in fencing and contribute to the Houston Shakespeare Festival. Opting for a shot at stardom over continuing his theater studies, Cullen landed a role on The Chisholms as his first breakthrough. He achieved much attention as Bob Cleary in the highly successful miniseries The_Thorn_Birds, which led to a stint on the nighttime soap Falcon_Crest. He continued to work steadily on both the stage and the screen including production of +Guys and Dolls, +The Little Foxes, and numerous Shakespearean plays. His film credits include Courage_Under_Fire and Apollo_13, a role that led to him joining the cast of the Tom_Hanks-produced television spectacle From the Earth to the Moon. Cullen has had recurring roles on such respected programs as Ugly_Betty, Friday_Night_Lights, The_West_Wing, and Lost. In 2007, he starred opposite Uma_Thurman in the drama In_Bloom. That same year, Cullen starred in the pilot for the television program Life_Is_Wild, but he was replaced when the show went to series by D.W. Moffett. Perry Seibert, Rovi
