Biography

Edward Kerr was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, where he spent his formative years before making the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles in 1990 after graduating from Vanderbilt University. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life, as he sought to pursue his passion for acting in the city of dreams.

His first major breakthrough in the film industry came in 1994, when he landed the starring role of Christopher Reeve's brother in the crime thriller "Above Suspicion," which also featured an all-star cast including Joe Mantegna, Kim Cattrall, and William H. Macy. This role not only showcased his impressive acting chops but also opened doors to new opportunities in the industry.

Kerr's next significant project was his two-season stint as Lt. Brody on the critically acclaimed sci-fi series "SeaQuest" on NBC, which was produced by none other than the legendary Steven Spielberg. This role further solidified his position as a talented young actor with a bright future ahead of him.

In the same year, Kerr took on the lead role in the award-winning romantic comedy "Confessions of a Sexist Pig," opposite the talented Traylor Howard and Lauren Graham. His performance received widespread critical acclaim, and he went on to receive praise for his lead role in the TNT original feature film "Legalese," alongside James Garner, Mary-Louise Parker, and Kathleen Turner.

Throughout his career, Kerr has been a series regular in numerous television pilots and series, including David E. Kelley's "Snoops" on ABC and the NBC sitcom "Three Sisters." He has also recurred in several notable roles, including Jennie Garth's love interest (Rick) on the WB sitcom "What I Like About You" with Amanda Bynes, opposite Anne Heche on ABC's "Men In Trees," and Brooke Shields in "Lipstick Jungle" (NBC).

In addition to his television work, Kerr has also made a name for himself in the world of web comedy, starring as a heartless attorney in the hit series "Living the Dream" at BitterLawyer.com. He has also received praise for his role opposite Portia di Rossi in Michael Goorjian's film "The Shift."

Throughout his illustrious career, Kerr has had the privilege of guest-starring on numerous television shows, including "Sex and the City" and "House, M.D." He has also had exclusive talent holding deals with NBC, Paramount, and ABC, further solidifying his position as a talented and in-demand actor.
