Career
[edit]Le Gros starred in Gus Van Sant's film Drugstore Cowboy and had a supporting role for Living in Oblivion, where he played Chad Palomino, a self-centered actor with endless "a-list" star demands for a "b-movie" director and crew. He had a prominent role opposite Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves in the 1991 action adventure film Point Break as bank robber, Roach. Le Gros appeared on Showtime's Sleeper Cell (as Special Agent Ray Fuller) and on Law & Order. He was also a cast member on the television series Ally McBeal and guest-starred on Roseanne, Punky Brewster, The Outer Limits, and Friends. He portrayed Dr. Dan Harris on the NBC series Mercy.[2] Le Gros portrayed Peter Gray in the Dark Sky thriller Bitter Feast.[3]
He is the first actor to appear on TV as Deputy United States Marshal Raylan Givens in the TV film Pronto, based on a book by Elmore Leonard. Le Gros also appeared on the TV series Justified (which centers on Givens) as antagonist Wade Messer.
Personal life
[edit]Le Gros married actress and photographer Kristina Loggia, daughter of actor Robert Loggia, in 1992. They have two sons; their son Noah LeGros is also an actor.[4]
