Marc Vann (born August 23, 1954) is an American actor. He is known for his role as Conrad Ecklie on the CBS television series, CSI:Crime Scene Investigation. Although this role as agitator to Gil Grissom has earned the character evident dislike by CSI fans, Vann himself has a small but growing fanbase. He also had notable roles in Angel and Early Edition.
Vann was born in Norfolk, Virginia. He initially had little interest in acting or theater, but he was introduced to the craft through a mime workshop while studying for his MBA. He subsequently got involved in theater[1] before moving to L.A. to start a career as a television actor.
While still working on CSI, Vann has also acted in Boston Legal, appearing in two episodes of the lawyer based show, alongside William Shatner, in 2006. In 2007, between April and May, Vann had roles in various series. He starred in Criminal Minds as Adam Fuchs, Without A Trace as Pete Weber, and in Grey's Anatomy as a Hematologist. Later on in 2007 CSI had a crossover episode with Without A Trace, technically making the shows appear in related timelines. However, this does not mean that the characters of Pete Weber and Conrad Ecklie are connected in any way, especially as Vann's Without A Trace episode was a once occuring walk on role. On February 28th, 2008, Vann pulled off a special feat, guest starring back to back in new episodes of two different series, both on ABC. First, he played a ship's doctor on the cult phenom Lost, and then played an automotive worker who was bribed into moving to Hawaii and not testifying in a trial in Eli Stone.
