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 in 1978, 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).
