Brian Hallisay

Actor Brian Hallisay cut his teeth on a string of hit crime procedurals before landing recurring roles in teen series "Privileged" (The CW, 2008-09), racy drama "The Client List" (Lifetime, 2012-13) and prime-time soap opera "Revenge" (ABC, 2011-15). Born in Los Angeles, CA, Hallisay studied Economics and History at Cornell University and spent several years working on Wall Street before making the switch to acting in his mid-twenties. After making his on-screen debut in an episode of short-lived crime series "The Inside" (Fox, 2005), Hallisay played Paris Hilton's boyfriend Hayden in the much-maligned comedy "Bottoms Up" (2006), a businessman who fakes his own kidnapping in "Without A Trace" (CBS, 2002-09) and Coop's secret lover in "Cold Case" (CBS, 2003-2010). Hallisay then guested on "CSI: NY" (CBS, 2004-2013), "Bones" (Fox, 2005-) and "Bionic Woman" (NBC, 2007) before taking on his first recurring role, charming wealthy Palm Beach bachelor Will Davis, in teen drama "Privileged" (The CW, 2008-09). Following one-off parts in mystical soap "Eastwick" (ABC, 2009-2010) and police procedural "Rizzoli and Isles" (TNT, 2010-16), Hallisay played the lead role of groom-to-be Scott in the torture horror installment "Hostel: Part III" (2011), enjoyed a two-episode stint as FBI Agent Pettibone in "The Ringer" (The CW, 2011-12) and guested as Dr. Jeffrey Dante in medical drama "Body of Proof" (ABC, 2011-13). Hallisay then appeared alongside real-life future wife Jennifer Love Hewitt as her character's estranged husband Kyle Parks in the provocative series about a single mother-turned-prostitute, "The Client List" (Lifetime, 2012-13), and played Karen's HIV-positive ex-boyfriend Ben Odell in relationship drama "Mistresses" (ABC, 2013-16) before returning to the big screen in supernatural horror "Jessabelle" (2013) and Clint Eastwood's Oscar-nominated biographical war tale "American Sniper" (2014). In 2014, Hallisay was cast as Ben Hunter, an earnest police officer, in campy prime-time soap opera "Revenge" (ABC, 2011-15).
