Ted
Levine
A
character actor with the presence of a leading man, Ted Levine has the
kind of face that makes you often sit and wonder "Where have I seen him
before?" This is has never been more noticeable than in the unusual
role of Jame Gumb in the chilling suspense film 'Silence of the Lambs'.
Nowadays, Ted is more noted for his regular role as the captain of the
San Francisco Police Force with an amazing amount of patience in the breakaway
hit television series, 'Monk'. I've come to respect him as an person
and have just begun to learn more about this fascinating actor - I hope
you will want to as well...

Birthday:
May 29, 1958
Ted Levine began his career as a stage actor in the early 1980s, expanding to television and movies later in that decade. His theatrical career includes performances at Chicago's famed Steppenwolf Theater, most notably as Tilden in Sam Shepard's Buried Child, directed by Gary Sinise. After returning to Hollywood for a series of movies in the late 1990s, he impressed the critics (and at least some viewers) with his complex portrayal
of the highly intelligent and deeply compassionate Dr. Robert Banger in
ABC's too quickly cancelled Wonderland. He is currently back on television
as Captain Leland Stottlemeyer in USA Network's popular new detective series,
Monk, also starring Tony Shalhoub and Bitty Schram. For more information,
