Biography

James Le Gros is an American actor from Minneapolis. His performance in Living in Oblivion (1995) earned him an Independent Spirit Award nomination for best supporting male; in that film he played a self-absorbed performer whose unending demands tested a low-budget director and crew. He starred in Gus Van Sant's Drugstore Cowboy (1989) and took a prominent part in Point Break (1991) as Roach, a bank robber, alongside Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. On television he had a regular role on Ally McBeal and played Dr. Dan Harris in Mercy, and he appeared on Sleeper Cell as Special Agent Ray Fuller, on Law & Order, and on Justified as the antagonist Wade Messer. He also made guest appearances on Roseanne and Punky Brewster, and on The Outer Limits and Friends. In the TV film Pronto he was the first actor to portray Deputy United States Marshal Raylan Givens, and he played Peter Gray in the thriller Bitter Feast (2010).
