Gregory Itzin

MYFOXNY.COM - Actor Gregory Itzin appeared on Good Day NY and talked about his lengthy acting career that spands more than 30 years with over 140 roles in movies, television, and theater. He’s currently starring on Fox’s hit “24” and his new show on Broadway “Enron”.

Itzin won his first Emmy nomination for his much-lauded, multi-layered performance as President Charles Logan on 24 and it will be interesting to see how the character plays out now that he's no longer the leader of the free world. Logan returns to 24 on April 12 and on April 8, Enron begins previews with the show opening officially on April 27th. Itzin's last stint on Broadway yielded a Tony nomination and a Drama Desk nomination for his role in the Pulitzer Prize winning play, The Kentucky Cycle.

Itzin spent a lifetime playing politicians, royalty and leaders, most recently on The Mentalist. These roles in ENRON and 24 are the culmination of his award-winning career. People love to hate his maddeningly indecisive, part evil/part delusional character on 24, who is often on television's baddest villain lists.

Itzin has starred on previous series and recurred on many more. He's acted opposite Johnny Depp, Angelia Jolie and Meryl Streep in films, his most recent film was Law Abiding Citizen. He has received numerous awards for his extensive theatre work.

In real life, Itzin has been happily married for 30 years and has a son and a daughter. He loves to play golf and to fix things around the house when he has the time. He also teaches acting and Shakespeare. Ironic that Itzin has always loved Shakespeare, who often wrote about flawed politicians and royalty struggling with their own inner beasts and doubts.
