Inspired by the works of his Academy Award-winning father, Ed Begley, Jr. became an actor. He first came to audiences’ attention for his portrayal of Dr. Victor Ehrlich on the long-running hit television series, “St. Elsewhere,” for which he received six Emmy nominations. Since then Begley has moved easily between feature, television and theatre projects. Ed has appeared in “A Mighty Wind”, a follow-up to the American Comedy Award-winning film, “Best In Show,” with Christopher Guest, Catherine O’ Hara and Eugene Levy, as well as the latest installment, “For Your Consideration”. Other feature film credits include “Batman Forever,” “The Accidental Tourist” and “The In-Laws.” On television, Begley has recently had recurring roles on “Six Feet Under”, “Arrested Development”, “Veronica Mars, and “Boston Legal.” He and his wife, Rachelle Carson can be seen regularly on the critically acclaimed series, “Living With Ed.” Begley also starred in the West Coast premiere of David Mamet’s “Cryptogram,” at the Geffen Playhouse, in the role that he first performed in Boston and then in New York. He also starred in Mr. Mamet’s production of “Romance” last fall at the Mark Taper Forum. Ed has directed several episodes of the hit show “NYPD Blue” as well as a play that he wrote called “Cesar and Ruben” that won a Nos Otros Award and four Valley Theater League Awards. Ed Begley, Jr. is perhaps the greenest man in Tinsel Town. He drives his electric car to the Academy Awards and powers his home with the sun and his stationary bike. He has a passion for the environment. He is an earth-friendly fanatic with humor and heart. Ed lives the lifestyle of a diehard activist who puts his money and his time where his mouth is 24/7.
