Biography

Here is Doug's biography:

Growing up on the south shore of Long Island, Doug attended Lindenhurst High School, then went on to college at Marquette University, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he received an honors degree in Liberal Arts: Philosophy/English.

After entering his second year at Hofstra Law School, Doug decided to turn toward acting. He has studied with some of the finest New York teachers, like Terry Hayden, Jacqueline Brooks, Alan Langdon, Nikos Psacharopoulis and Warren Robertson, but his most influential period of study was with Stella Adler as a working actor in a series of her Master Thesis Classes.

After years of work off off, off and around Broadway, in regional and stock theater and in numerous independent films, Doug moved to Hollywood.

In LA he appeared in a top-of-show guest-star role opposite Hugh Laurie for the hit series "House" as "Dolce" in the episode, "Help Me."

In New York City he has worked opposite Jesse L. Martin and Jeremy Sisto in "Law & Order," as "Mackey," in the episode, "Submission" and as "Rigalowski" opposite Sam Riley in the independent feature "13" starring Mickey Rourke, Jason Stathem and 50 Cent.

Doug's most recent appearances, however, are in a multi-episode top-of-show guest-star in the HBO/Cinemax release of "Banshee" as "Nathan" and in "Manhunt: Unabomber" as "Dr. David Gelernter." These shows mark the continuing collaboration between Doug and Emmy winning director/producer, Greg Yaitanes.

In Hollywood, he has also worked opposite Kathryn Morris and Danny Pino as guest lead in the hit CBS series "Cold Case," opposite Faye Dunaway in the ABC hit series "Alias," opposite David Paymer in "Line of Fire", on ABC and as "Agent Downing" in the Gena Davis series "Commander In Chief" on ABC.

You may have seen Doug as spokesperson for the "Ignoring the Flood" spot, as the bad guy evading the law, in the form of Darrell Walltrip, in a campaign for "Toyota NASCAR" and in any number of spots for Nike, Lincoln, Honda, etc.
