With a career that encompassed theater, film and television, actor John Benjamin Hickey took on complex and moving characters, always delivering layered performances. Hickey made his mark on Broadway with a featured role in the Tony Award-winning play "Love! Valour! Compassion!" (1995), which he later recreated in the 1997 feature film adaptation. The actor further padded his résumé with appearances on acclaimed television dramas like "Law & Order" (NBC, 1990-2010) and in epic film projects, including Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers" (2006).
