Joe
Flanigan began his acting experience while attending the Ojai Valley School,
where he played “Stanley
Kowalski” in a theatrical production of
Tennessee Williams’ play “A Streetcar Named Desire.” Then
at the
University of Colorado, where he received a degree in History, he
again appeared on stage in the
title
role
of “Coriolanus.”
While,
for a time, Mr. Flanigan departed from acting for other pursuits, including
editorial work for Interview
and Town & Country magazines, he would return to the stage when he
began studying at
New York’s
Neighborhood Playhouse, where he played “Eddie” in “Rabbit Trap.”
Los Angeles was his next destination, where he would eventually land a
regular role as college
student Brian
Cordovas in the acclaimed NBC
dramatic series "Sisters" and would have leading roles in
made-for-TV
productions including the NBC miniseries “Danielle Steele’s
Family Album,” and the CBS
movie of the week,
“Deadline
for Murder: From the files of Edna Buchanan.”
He
would soon become a favorite for recurring and guest-starring roles on
popular sit-coms and dramas
portraying a wide range of characters on shows such as “Profiler,”
“ER,” “Cupid,” “Dawson’s
Creek,”
“Providence,” “Judging Amy,” “Tru Calling,” and most recently “C.S.I. Miami.”
Always versatile, in 2002, Mr. Flanigan once again proved his talent for
subtle theatrics when he returned to
a leading role in a dramatic series, as the eccentric “Julian Lodge,” the
ever “bow-tied” senior law clerk, on
the Belisarius production of the CBS series, “First Monday.”
Not
limited to television, Mr. Flanigan's credits also include the sobering film
about date-rape, “A Reason to
Believe,” the 1999 film “The Other Sister” - a delightful comedy-drama by
Garry Marshall - and his starring
role in the critically-acclaimed independent hit of 2001, "Farewell to
Harry."
Away
from the set, Mr. Flanigan seeks out the outdoors enjoying skiing, rock
climbing, surfing, tennis,
mountain
biking, horseback riding, and motorcycles. When not working on his
current project “Stargate Atlantis,” he makes his home in Los Angeles
with his wife, painter Katherine Flanigan.
