James Todd Spader (born February 7, 1960 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an
actor best known for his eccentric roles in movies such as Sex, Lies, and
Videotape (for which he won the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film
Festival), Stargate, and Secretary.
Spader attended The Pike School in Andover, Massachusetts and is one of the
school's most famous alumni. Afterwards he attended Phillips Academy, but he
dropped out in the eleventh grade to pursue acting in New York City.

Known for his mastery of the smarmy, sexually deviant yuppie, Spader got his
start in Pretty in Pink. He was also the lead of the mostly-new cast which
creator David E. Kelley put in place in 2003 for ABC's The Practice (for
which he won an Emmy Award) and was given the lead in that show's spin-off,
Boston Legal for which he won an Emmy in 2005 and thus became one of the few
actors to win consecutive Emmys for playing the same character in two
different series, (another being co-star William Shatner).
Offbeat and fiercely private, Spader has always narrowly avoided mainstream
success, but he is widely acclaimed as one of the most talented, albeit
unwilling, actors of his generation. |
