Colin Cunningham... a man of many
talents, a man of many faces. Born and raised in Los Angeles, this
professional actor got sick and tired of tugging on the 'shirt sleeves' of
Hollywood. In 1993 Cunningham decided he'd had enough and shouted from a
laundromat "Enough! To hell with this! I'm going to get out of this town, go
to Vancouver, take a film class, start up my own production company, make a
movie and put me in it!"
And so, he loaded up his car, headed
north, took a film class, started up his own production company, made a
movie and put himself in it.
That movie was ZACHARIA FARTED.
A highly successful indie feature, which took a total
of 3 AUDIENCE FAVORITE AWARDS out of the 7 festivals it played
throughout Canada,
the U.S. and Europe. ZACHARIA was also nominated for 5 LEO AWARDS
(B.C. Film Awards), including BEST PICTURE.
Today, Colin continues to be one of
the busiest and hardest working actor/film-makers
in the United States and Canada. He recently won a LEO AWARD for BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, in the series DA VINCI'S INQUEST for
his role as dirty
cop, Brian Curtis. Colin also just finished up work on the soon to be
released feature ELEKTRA, co-starring along with Jennifer Garner and
Terence Stamp. You can also catch him in the season finale of the popular
science fiction series THE DEAD ZONE.
In over 15 years of acting, Colin has
worn many 'faces'. From the rule-bound
Major Paul Davis on STARGATE SG-1 to a sleazy tabloid editor in
CSI: MIAMI.
Colin only has to turn to his closet where he becomes long haired druggy cop
Brian Curtis, the Devil incarnate (THE COLLECTOR) or the blonde,
caring and
ever present ex-husband 'Neil', on THE CHRIS ISAAK SHOW.
Cunningham has not limited himself to
episodic television, and has been seen in dozens
of indie features and MOWs such as MR. ST. NICK (with Kelsey Grammer),
BEHIND THE SCENES (the story of classic sitcom 'Three's Company') and
TNT's WILDER DAYS (with Peter Falk).
Personal highlights to date are
working with Arnold Schwarzenegger in THE SIXTH DAY
and with Christopher Guest in the Castle Rock Pictures 'mockumentary'
release BEST IN SHOW.
