Biography Filmography Links Contact Galleries
Birthplace: Washington, DC, USA
Perhaps most famous for his dramatic
work on TV series like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Christopher
Meloni has also been praised for his comedic appearances on screens of
all sizes. His resumé proves him a versatile actor, indeed, with
experience on television, in feature films -- both comedic and dramatic
-- and even on-stage. (He acted in the 2001 Williamstown Theatre Festival.)
He was born on April 2, 1961, in Washington, D.C., and earned his degree in 1983 at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Having grown interested in acting in college, he next studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City with Sandford Meisner.
First noted for his role that began in 1990 on the hit series The Fanelli Boys on NBC, Meloni's accomplished television background consists of appearances on NYPD Blue (1993), the HBO's prison series Oz (1997), and numerous other series and TV movie roles. His lengthy list of supporting appearances on film includes major features like 12 Monkeys (1995), Bound (1996), and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). In 1999, he played one of Julia Roberts' husbands-to-be in Runaway Bride.
Building upon his Oz experience, he starred in
the PBS feature Shift in 2001, in a dramatic role as a prison inmate lovesick
over a woman whom he only knows via telephone, and who doesn't know his
whereabouts. Also in that year, he played a crazy 'Nam vet chef -- who
provided some of the most accessible laughs of the absurd comedy -- at
summer camp in David Wain's Wet Hot American Summer. ~ Sarah Sloboda,
