Edward James Begley, Jr. (born September 16, 1949 in Los Angeles, California) is a character actor and game show panelist (son of veteran character actor Ed Begley) and environmentalist who is perhaps best known for his work as Dr. Mark Craig's intern, Dr. Victor Ehrlich on the television series St. Elsewhere, for which he received six consecutive Emmy Award nominations.

Other numerous works in television and film include recurring roles on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, 7th Heaven, Arrested Development and Six Feet Under, and starring roles in Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital and Wednesday 9:30 (8:30 Central). He has played significant roles in the mockumentary films Best in Show and A Mighty Wind. Additionally, Begley played Viper pilot Greenbean on the original Battlestar Galactica tv series, Boba Fett in the radio adaptation of Return of the Jedi and Seth Gillette, a fictional Democratic U.S. senator from North Dakota in the television drama The West Wing. Since 2000, he has been a member of the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Begley also is recognized for his environmentalism and his promotion of eco-friendly products like the Toyota Prius and Begley's Best Household Cleaner. A vegan for many years, his home is completely solar powered and he usually rides bicycles or uses public transportation. His hybrid electric bicycle often features on his television show, Living with Ed. Begley spoofed his own environmentalist beliefs on an episode of The Simpsons by showing himself using a nonpolluting go-cart that is powered by his "own sense of self-satisfaction."

He has guest-starred on shows such as Scrubs, Boston Legal and Star Trek: Voyager. He had a recurring guest role in season three of Veronica Mars.

As of 2007, Begley and his wife Rachelle Carson star in their own reality television series, Living With Ed, on the Home & Garden Television channel.[1] They have one child, a daughter, Hayden Carson. He is receiving the prestigious "Thomas Alva Edison Award" for Energy Independence by the American Jewish Congress, the first of this award to be presented. Ed Begley has been a leader in this field and is being recognized November 2007 for his lifes work to the planet.
