William Oliver Campbell (born July 7, 1959) is an American film and television actor. He first gained recognition for his recurring role as Luke Fuller on the television series Dynasty, and as the titular character Cliff Secord / The Rocketeer in the superhero film The Rocketeer (1991).[1] He then starred as Rick Sammler on the series Once and Again (1999-2002), earning a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor – Television Series Drama.

He also portrayed Det. Joey Indelli on Crime Story (1985-96), Dr. Jon Fielding on the miniseries Tales of the City (1993) and its sequels, Darren Richmond on The Killing (2011-13), and Dr. Alan Farragut on Helix (2014-15). Campbell starred as Det. John Cardinal on the Canadian CTV series Cardinal, for which he won three Canadian Screen Awards. He is also known for his film roles in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Gettysburg (1993), and Enough (2002).

Early life

Campbell was born on July 7, 1959, in Charlottesville, Virginia. He attended Fork Union Military Academy, Western Albemarle High School and New Trier East High School. His parents divorced when he was very young.[2] He moved to Chicago to study at the American Academy of Art College, but instead chose to pursue acting as a profession, taking classes at the Ted Liss Studio and the Second City Training Center.[3]

Career

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". After an appearance in an episode of the hit 1980s sitcom Family Ties, Campbell's first prominent role was that of Luke Fuller, Steven Carrington's lover on Dynasty. Campbell appeared in the show's fifth season (1984–85) when Dynasty was the number one show on American television. Following this, he had a regular role as Detective Joey Indelli on the 1986–88 NBC series Crime Story. Campbell was the first choice of the producers of Star Trek: The Next Generation to play the role of William Riker, but lost the role to Jonathan Frakes.[4] Campbell appeared as a guest star during the show's second season, portraying the title character in "The Outrageous Okona". In 1991, Campbell played the lead role and love interest of Jennifer Connelly's character in The Rocketeer. He went on to appear as Quincey Morris, a Texan vampire hunter in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). In 1993, he starred in the short-lived detective series Moon Over Miami. That same year, he was seen in the role of Dr. Jon Fielding in the television adaptation of Tales of the City. He appeared in the sequels More Tales of the City in 1998, and Further Tales of the City in 2001.[5] In 1999, Campbell began his role as Rick Sammler on Once and Again, opposite Sela Ward. The series ran for three seasons until 2002, during which time Campbell received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series. Campbell then had a regular role as Jordan Collier on the sci-fi series The 4400, which aired for four seasons on the USA Network between 2004–2007. In 2005, he had a recurring role in the teen soap The O.C.

After his role in the 2002 film Enough, in which he played the abusive husband of Jennifer Lopez's character, he portrayed serial killer Ted Bundy in the 2003 television film The Stranger Beside Me. He then played a college professor accused of raping a student in a 2004 episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and also played an accused serial killer who defends himself in the 2007 television series Shark. In 2010, Campbell had a recurring role in the short-lived revival of Melrose Place. Following this, Campbell took a prominent role in the AMC series The Killing, an American remake of the Danish series of the same name. In 2012, Campbell played the stern but kindly father in the independent film, Fat Kid Rules the World. In 2000, Campbell was named one of the "World's 50 Most Beautiful People" by People magazine. In 2013, he played Abraham Lincoln in the National Geographic television adaptation of the Bill O'Reilly/Martin Dugard book, Killing Lincoln.[6] From 2017 to 2020, he starred in the Canadian television drama series Cardinal, for which he won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Actor in a Limited Series or Television Film at the 6th Canadian Screen Awards in 2018,[7] the 7th Canadian Screen Awards in 2019[8] and the 8th Canadian Screen Awards in 2020.[5][9]

Personal life

Campbell was engaged to Jennifer Connelly, his The Rocketeer co-star from 1991[10] until 1996.[11] He now has a Norwegian wife, Anne, and two children, and they live at her family's farm in Moss, Norway.[12]

Campbell holds permanent resident status in Canada, and lived for several years Vancouver, British Columbia.[13]

Campbell is a rugby enthusiast, having played for the Virginia Rugby Football Club, Chicago Lions RFC and the Santa Monica Rugby Club.[2][14]
