Eric Bogosian

Eric Bogosian (born on April 24, 1953 in Woburn, Massachusetts) is an Armenian American actor, playwright, monologist, and novelist.

After graduating from Oberlin College, Bogosian moved to New York City to pursue a career in theatre.

As a performer, Bogosian has a very distinctive style. His one-man shows are a minimalist blend of dark comedy, geopolitical commentary, and social realism. When performing on stage, Bogosian generally appears as a series of characters, and uses only a microphone and a folding chair as props.

Bogosian has recently joined the cast of Law & Order: Criminal Intent as Captain Danny Ross, replacing Jamey Sheridan's character, Captain James Deakins. He is one of numerous Law and Order actors to have played a supporting role, only to return as a major character. Eric Bogosian played Gary Lowenthal in two episodes of Law and Order (the original series).

Some of his plays have recently been revived on and off-Broadway, with an updated version of his 1994 play SubUrbia at Second Stage Theatre and the Broadway premiere of his Pulitzer Prize-nominated 1987 drama Talk Radio, starring Liev Schreiber, in March 2007.
