Seth Gabel

Born on Oct. 3, 1981 in Hollywood, FL, actor Seth Gabel studied acting at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where he met his future wife, actress Bryce Dallas Howard. He began his screen career doing guest spots on several well-known series, including "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (NBC, 1999- ) and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (CBS, 2000-15). Moving quickly up the ranks, he had a meaty role as a Russian mobster running a crime family's Los Angeles-based prostitution ring in an episode of "The Closer" (TNT, 2005-12).

Gabel followed with an impressive recurring role in the second season of "Nip/Tuck" (FX, 2003-10), playing a lying, bullying, thieving and sexually ambiguous young man with a personal vendetta against Matt (John Hensley), the troubled son of a hotshot Miami plastic surgeon (Dylan Walsh). After a small part in father-in-law Ron Howard's adaptation of "The Da Vinci Code" (2006), Gabel landed his first regular series role in "Dirty Sexy Money" (ABC, 2007-09), playing the bad boy in a wealthy New York family, who calls upon an idealistic young attorney (Peter Krause) to take care of its legal - and not-so-legal - needs.
