Accomplished stage actor Michael C. Hall makes an indelible impression as David Fisher, the soul of HBO's hit series "Six Feet Under," currently in production on its fifth and final season. Last season, Hall displayed a stunning range of emotion in "That's My Dog" -- a devastating episode in which David picks up a hitchhiker who proceeds to flirt, rob and abuse him. In 2002, Hall garnered nominations for the Emmy® Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Drama Series and the AFI Male Television Actor of the Year Award. Hall and the "Six Feet Under" cast received 2003 and 2004 Screen Actors Guild Awards for Best Performance By an Ensemble in A Drama Series, for which they were also nominated in 2002 and 2005.
A North Carolina native and graduate of New York University's Master of Fine Arts program in acting, Hall has appeared in nearly a dozen major stage productions. He made his Broadway debut as the emcee in "Cabaret," directed by Sam Mendes and most recently starred as Billy Flynn in "Chicago." Off-Broadway, Hall starred opposite Alec Baldwin and Angela Bassett in "Macbeth," directed by George C. Wolfe and "Cymbeline" with Liev Schreiber for the New York Shakespeare Festival, "Timon of Athens" and "Henry V" at the Public Theater, "The English Teachers" for Manhattan Class Company, the Manhattan Theater Club's production of "Corpus Christi," directed by Joe Mantello and with Brian Cox in "Skylight" at the Mark Taper Forum.
Hall's film credits include John Woo's PAYCHECK and the independent drama BEREFT, which premiered April 5 on Showtime.
