Trained at Juilliard, actor Michael Beach worked in regional
theater and off-Broadway productions before moving to Los Angeles to work on television and film.
His stage credits include Much Ado About Nothing and Ascension Day. Though he
appeared on television a lot in the late '80s, his film breakthrough came in
Carl Franklin's 1991 crime thriller One False Move. He played the ex-con Pluto
opposite Billy Bob Thornton, who also co-wrote the script. Thornton later wrote the role of Virgil for
Beach in the 1996 drama A Family Thing, starring James Earl Jones. In 1993, he
was a part of the ensemble cast in Robert Altman's award-winning feature Short
Cuts. After playing opposite Laurence Fishburne in the crime thriller Bad
Company (1995), Beach went on to play several unfaithful husbands. He cheated
on Angela Bassett in Waiting to Exhale (1995), Vanessa Williams in Soul Food
(1997), and Gloria Reuben on ER. Fellow ER cast member Eriq La Salle cast Beach
in his sports drama Rebound: The Legend of Earl 'The Goat' Manigault (1996) for
HBO. Back on television, Beach earned an Image Award for his role of Monte
'Doc' Parker on the NBC dramatic series Third Watch. In 2002, he re-teamed with
actor/director La Salle for the lead role of
Dr. Ty Adams in the thriller Crazy as Hell.
