Anthony Edwards Biography

Born to a well-blended family, Anthony Edwards was born in Santa Barbara, California, on July 19, 1962, the youngest of five children. Growing up as the son of an architect and an artist, his parents encouraged him to act at age 16, which eventually led him to attending a summer workshop in London before graduating from high school. Returning to the United States, Edwards worked in commercials, jobs that helped him pay his education at The University of Southern California, where he studied acting. However, he dropped out of college, and in that same year, he had a small role in the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), starring Sean Penn. Edwards began working in TV movies and continued to star in more box office movies such as Hawks (1988), How I Got Into College (1989), Downtown (1990), Pet Sematary II (1992), Landslide (1992) and Delta Heat (1992). The '90s won Edwards his best reviews for his recurring role of the quirky "bubble man" Mike Monroe on the popular television series "Northern Exposure" (1990). He was nominated for a Cable Ace Award in HBO's Sexual Healing (1993), and the following year, he starred in Charlie's Ghost Story (1994), before he played law clerk Clint Von Hooser in the John Grisham movie The Client (1994). This led to his most prominent role, as easy-going charismatic physician Dr. Mark Greene on the very popular TV series "ER" (1994).For his work on "ER", he was nominated for an Emmy Award four times For Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, but has never won. However, he has won a Golden Globe Award For Best Performance by an Actor-In a TV Series, and was nominated four times, and also has two Screen Actor's Guild Awards. His first big roles after "ER" were that of Brains in the movie Thunderbirds (2004), and as Jim Paretta in The Forgotten (2004). In the many years that he starred on "ER", that show gave him more success in working on and off the set. Also it gave him a spiritual blessing that so many popular actors have had over the years.

• 1. Chase Matthews: The pathologist. He said that you had reported a similar incident, with a cat.
  2. Dr. Yolander: The Creed cat, that's right. Bastard's name was 'Church'. Let me guess. Your dog's tissue isn't healing, pupils aren't dilating, maybe you can't find a heartbeat?
  3. Chase Matthews: Exactly! I thought it might be some sort of blood condition, immune deficiency or...
  4. Dr. Yolander: There's no 'blood condition.' The dog isn't sick, it's dead. And so was Creed's cat. And so was his wife the night she was killed for the second time. You want some advice, friend? You get in your car, you pick up your family, and you get the hell out of that town.
