[edit] Biography
In the early 1980s he was drawn to acting as a career and moved to Los Angeles, California, but he continued to supplement his income with various jobs on the side, including teaching yoga, waiting tables, working in movie theaters, and cleaning houses, through 1986, when he was offered his first major television role. This came in the form of the character Brian Bradford on the soap opera Santa Barbara, soon followed by a stint on the hospital drama St. Elsewhere, in which he played Bret Johnson, a patient dying of AIDS.
After working in several movies, including Heart of Dixie (1989), City Slickers (1991), Delusion (1991), and Untamed Heart (1992), Secor was cast as Det. Tim Bayliss on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1993, a role which he would fill for the remainder of the series. Throughout most of this time, Secor was paired on screen with actor Andre Braugher, who played his partner Det. Frank Pembleton. Though the show was an ensemble work, Secor's character was placed in a particularly pivotal role, as the series began its first episode on his first day of work in the Baltimore homicide unit.
After a successful seven year run on Homicide, Secor went on to a short-lived role on Party of Five and made two feature films, Endsville and Beat. He returned to the small screen as a doctor in the CBS production, City Of Angels, for 9 weeks during the fall of 2000. The made-for-TV movie Bailey's Mistake was shown on ABC on March 18th, 2001. He appeared in the pilot of Crossing Jordan in the fall of 2001 and had a recurring supporting role in the cancelled ABC production of Stephen Bochco's Philly from September 2001 through May 2002. In fall 2002 he was seen as a guest star on CBS's Without A Trace. Spring of 2004 brought Lifetime's Infidelity opposite former Philly costar Kim Delaney, and the long awaited Disney-ABC miniseries A Wrinkle In Time featuring him in the role of Hank. He had a recurring role in the 2004-2005 freshman season of the show Veronica Mars on UPN.
From 2005 to 2006, he starred with Geena Davis in ABC's Commander in Chief, playing the husband of the female President.
Secor married actress Kari Coleman on January 28, 2002. They have two children.
