Early-life:
Paul David McCrane was born on January 19th, 1961, in Philadelphia. He began playing the guitar and piano at an early age, and was encouraged to take up music professionally by his teacher. McCrane had already decided to concentrate on acting and went on to study with a number of notable teachers, including the acclaimed Uta Hagen. He went on to make his stage debut in Landscape of the Human Body at the New York Shakespeare Festival.
Career:
More stage roles followed before McCrane made his film debut in 1979's Rocky II. His first major role came a year later in the movie Fame. He then appeared in The Hotel New Hampshire, RoboCop and the remake of The Blob. He had a lead role in short-lived drama Cop Rock in 1990 and spent most of the rest of the decade making little-seen movies and guest roles in such TV shows as The Commish, Law and Order, The X Files, Chicago Hope, The Practice and Touched by an Angel. He played Dr Robert Romano on ER between 1997 and 2003, and guest starred in seasons 5 and 6 of 24 as Graem Bauer. He starred alongside Kathy Bates in David E Kelley's legal comedy drama Harry's Law, for which he won an Emmy Award.
Quote:
On Romano: "There's something that's sort of attractive in how much you want to strangle the guy."
Trivia:
He recorded a song for Fame that was cut from the film.
