ZACH GRENIER is returning to the Atlantic Theater next month following the critically acclaimed production of Gabriel, in which he starred opposite Lisa Emery. Last Fall, he made his second appearance opposite Frank Langella in the Roundabout Theatre Company production of Man and Boy, his first being A Man for All Seasons, also at the Roundabout. He was nominated for a Tony Award® for his portrayal of Ludwig van Beethoven in Moisés Kaufman’s 33 Variations, starring Jane Fonda. On television, he can regularly be seen playing David Lee, the Machiavellian head of Family Law, on the hit CBS show The Good Wife. Other critically acclaimed series include 24, on which he played the Iago-like Carl Webb, and David Milch’s Deadwood, on which he appeared as Andy Cramed, the man who brought the plague to town. On Showtime’s production of Neil Simon’s Laughter on the 23rd Floor, directed by Richard Benjamin and starring Nathan Lane, he played a maniacally chain-smoking comedy writer. He was also a regular on the highly praised series C16:FBI and Touching Evil, rising from FBI agent in the former to special unit squad captain in the latter. His film credits include Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar, in which he played Condon, the private detective hired by Charles Lindbergh; David Fincher’s Zodiac and Fight Club, appearing in the pivotal role of Boss to Ed Norton’s Jack; Ang Lee’s Ride with the Devil, and Werner Herzog’s Rescue Dawn. While he numbers among his films such independent releases as Liebestraum, A Shock to the System, Chasing Sleep and Earthwork, he has also appeared in his fair share of major motion pictures, including Tommy Boy, Twister, and Swordfish. Zach’s roots are in theatre, and he has performed on stages from Maine to Alaska. He was nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award for his performance as Yvan in the Chicago production of Yasmina Reza’s Art at the Royal George Theatre. He was honored to play the title roles in Uncle Vanya and Tartuffe at Yale Rep, the latter a co-production with Princeton’s McCarter Theatre. In New York, he has appeared in productions ranging from the experimental plays of Richard Foreman and Mac Wellman to more naturalistic fare at the Circle Repertory Company, Manhattan Theatre Club, and Ensemble Studio Theatre, of which he is a member. At Circle Rep, he was privileged to work with Julie Harris in The Fiery Furnace. He originated the role of Dr. Chapman in David Rabe’s A Question of Mercy at New York Theatre Workshop, a performance that earned him an Outstanding Artist honor from the Drama League. His performance as Dick Cheney in David Hare’s Stuff Happens at the New York Shakespeare Festival was recognized with Ensemble Awards by both the Drama League and the Drama Desk.
