Career

James LeGros appeared as Rick in Gus Van Sants 1989 Drugstore Cowboy. One of his best known roles was in Living in Oblivion (directed by Tom DiCillo, also starring Steve Buscemi and Catherine Keener). LeGros played Chad Palomino, a male acting diva with endless 'a-list' star demands for a 'b-movie' director and crew. LeGros appeared on Showtime's Sleeper Cell (as Special Agent Ray Fuller) and on Law & Order. He was also a cast member on the television show Ally McBeal and guest starred on Roseanne, Punky Brewster, The Outer Limits (new series) and Friends. He portrayed Dr. Dan Harris on the NBC series Mercy.^[3] LeGros portrayed Peter Gray in the upcoming Dark Sky thriller Bitter Feast.^[4]

He also guest starred on ER, which may have something to do with the fact that he had acted before with Maura Tierney, who plays Nurse Abigail "Abby" Lockhart on the show.^{[citation needed]} The two were in Scotland, PA together, a low-profile film which was a modern approach to Shakespeare's classic tale of Macbeth, full of 70s nostalgia.
