Mark Feuerstein

American actor Mark Feuerstein turned his impressive training into a long, successful career in television. A native of New York, he graduated from Princeton University and became a Fulbright scholar. During his time abroad, he studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts and the L'Ecole Phillipe Gaulier in Paris.

He started his career on daytime television, acting in the soap opera "Loving" (ABC, 1983-95). He parlayed that experience into a recurring role on the hit sitcom "Caroline in the City" (NBC, 1995-99) playing of love interest for Lea Thompson's lead character.

He moved into a starring role opposite Leah Remini and Sharon Lawrence in the short-lived comedy "Fired Up" (NBC, 1997-98). He moved into film roles with a part in the Sandra Bullock-Nicole Kidman vehicle "Practical Magic" (1998). He tried sitcoms again, starring in "Conrad Bloom" (NBC, 1998) with Lauren Graham.

He worked regularly on television, however, with a recurring role on "Once and Again" (ABC, 1999-2002), and made memorable guest appearances on "Ally McBeal" (Fox, 1997-2002) and "Sex and the City" (HBO, 1998-2004). On film, he appeared with Helen Hunt and Mel Gibson in the comedy "What Women Want" (2000).

He returned again to TV, starring in "Good Morning, Miami" (NBC, 2002-04), and playing lobbyist Cliff Calley on "The West Wing" (NBC, 1999-2006). Unfortunately, his string of starring in short-lived television projects also continued with roles in the drama "3 lbs." (CBS, 2006) and the web series "The Hustler" (Crackle, 2009).

After a recurring part on "Nurse Jackie" (Showtime, 2009-16), he found more lasting success with his starring role on "Royal Pains" (USA Network, 2009-16). Playing Dr. Hank Lawson, on-call doctor to the rich at the Hamptons, he finally had the chance to fully explore and develop his character.

After the show ended, he joined the limited-run revival of "Prison Break" (Fox, 2005-17). He portrayed Jacob Ness, the man that Sarah Wayne Callies's Sara marries after she believes that Wentworth Miller's Michael is dead. Similarly, he joined the cast of "Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later" (Netflix, 2017), a limited-run continuation of David Wain and Michael Showalter's camp comedy franchise.

Having been a producer on "The Hustler" and "Royal Pains," Feuerstein was the creative force, along with his wife Dana Klein, behind the primetime sitcom "9JKL" (CBS, 2017-18), about an actor who moves in next door to his family. He then joined Alicia Silverstone to star in a new series adaptation of "The Baby-Sitters Club" (Netflix, 2020- ), based on Ann M. Martin's popular young adult novels.
