About Greg Germann

Stage-trained actor Greg Germann traveled to NYC after graduating from the University of Northern Colorado, where he became a member of the Circle Repertory Company and Ensemble Studio Theatre. Acting in productions like Stephen Sondheim's musical "Assassins" and Neil Simon's "Biloxi Blues" led to parts in both film and TV, but it has been on the small screen where he has had his greatest success. His TV acting debut came in "High School Narc" (1995), an "ABC Afterschool Special", and after appearing in such films as "Miss Firecracker" (1989) and "Once Around" (1991), both with Holly Hunter, and "So I Married an Axe Murder (1993), which reunited him with "High School Narc" co-star Nancy Travis and "Miss Firecracker" director Thomas Schlamme, Germann settled comfortably into his niche as a TV series regular. Although there were several unsold pilots, the good-looking blond actor finally registered as the pushy lawyer Andy Del Sorto in NBC's "Sweet Justice" (1994-95). He followed that with a turn as the Eric Moyer, the brow-beaten brother-in-law of Debra Messing's Stacey and co-worker of Thomas Haden Church's Ned in "Ned and Stacey" (Fox, 1995-1997). Germann returned to a legal setting for his next series, portraying smarmy senior partner Richard Fish, who only practices law for the money, in "Ally McBeal" (Fox, 1997- ).
