"Life as a House" biography for Scott Bakula

Scott Bakula is Kurt Walker, a local police officer sympathetic to George Monroe's plans to build house in the face of mounting opposition from his neighbors and the city. Currently Bakula can be seen starring as Captain Jonathan Archer in the television series "Enterprise," the fifth installment in the "ST" franchise. He will be seen this Fall in the Showtime original film "What Girls Learn," which he also co-produced, and the independent film, "Ghost of a Chance."

Bakula is best known for his five-year stint on the innovative television series, "QL," which remains one of the most popular series in syndication around the world. His performance brought him a Golden Glove for Best Actor in a Drama Series, four Emmy nominations and three more Golden Globe nominations. He was also honored an unprecedented five times by the Viewers for Quality Television.

Bakula has also won praise for his work in a variety of feature films, which include the 1999 Oscar-winning Best Picture "American Beauty," the supernatural thriller "Lord of Illusions", "Major League: BTTM", Mi Familia/My Family", Color of Night", A Passion to Kill" and "Necessary Roughness." He made his feature film debut in 1990 in the comedy "Sibling Rivalry," directed by Carl Reiner.

On television, Bakula has appeared in the CBS landmark comedies "Designing Women" and "Murphy Brown," the Showtime mini-series "It's a Girl Thing," the Fox mini-series "The Invaders," the ABC mini-series "Tome Clancy's Netforce," the Showtime telefilm "Mean Streak" and CBS' "Bachelor's Baby," executive-produced by Bakula through his production company. Most recently, he starred in and execituve produced the CBS movie-of-the-week "Papa's Angels."

Born in St. Louis, Bakula moved to New York in 1976 where he pursued an acting career in the theatre, making his Broadway debut as Joe DiMaggio in "Marilyn: An American Fable." In 1998 (their mistake; not mine), he was honored with a Tony nomination for his starring role in the Broadway musical, "Romance/Romance." His other theater credits include the critically acclaimed off-Broadway and Los Angeles productions of "Three Guys Naked From the Waist Down" and the Los Angeles and Boston productions of "Nite Club Confidential."
