BRUCE GREENWOOD (Martin / Ussher) won rave reviews in 2001 for his portrayal of President Kennedy in the Cuban missile crisis drama Thirteen Days. The film also brought him mass audience attention, attention he has never particularly sought, but which his subtle and detailed protraits of memorable heroes and villains -- make long-overdue.His first major role was as the second generation sex symbol and bad boy Dr. Seth Griffin in the long-running hit drama St. Elsewhere. When the series ended, he starred in biopics like Summer Dreams: the Story of the Beach Boys (1990) and glittering soap operas like Judish Krantz' Dazzle (1995) and in the now-revered cult favorite series Nowhere Man (1995-96).
In the early '90s, Greenwood began working in feature films and has since amassed an impressive list of crtedits. Before Thirteen Days, he was best known to wide audiences as the husband-victim-villain in 1999's surprise hit Double Jeopardy with Ashley Judd; he is starring in the upcoming supernatural thriller Below for Miramax. His greatest acclaim had come from his work in independent film: as the grieving father of two children killed in a school bus accident in Atom Egoyan's searing The Sweet Hereafter (1997), for which he received a Genie Award nomination as Best Actor, and for his work in Egoyan's earlier Exotica (1994).
