Rockmond Dunbar Biography
A theatrically trained actor who has subsequently made a name for himself as a valuable film and television commodity, Rockmond Dunbar is much more than just another charismatic performer -- he's also a talented producer and director. It was Dunbar's role on the mid-'90s sci-fi show Earth_2 that first served to introduce the ambitious cinematic Renaissance man to viewers, with subsequent appearances on The_Practice and Felicity preceding more substantial roles on Girlfriends and Soul_Food -- the latter of which found Dunbar winning over critics and viewers as a dedicated family man and hardworking entrepreneur. Additional roles in such independent films as Punks, All_About_You, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and Dirty_Laundry showed an actor who was as charismatic on the big screen as he was on the small one, with behind-the-scenes work on Dirty_Laundry and the 2003 drama The Great Commission marking his arrival as a producer and director as well.
In 2005, Dunbar resurfaced on the small screen in a role that couldn't have been more different than the one he previously played in Soul_Food. Cast as hardened prison inmate "C-Note" on the hit Fox series Prison_Break, Dunbar portrayed his most compelling television character to date. From inmate to medico, the versatile star named one of "Television's 50 Sexiest Stars of All Time" by TV Guide could next be seen as compassionate Dr. Tom Jonas on the small-screen medical drama Heartland.
