Kristoffer Polaha

Born in the dusty town of Reno, Nevada, Kristoffer Polaha never shot anyone just to watch them die, though he is a fan of the late Johnny Cash. The fourth son of four boys belonging to Jerome and Esther Polaha, it was difficult to get any attention when he was growing up, so naturally he became an actor. He fancied himself an intense method thespian while in high school at Robert Louis Stevenson and tried unsuccessfully to trademark the term. After earning his chops at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, he was received a rave review in the New York Times for his role as John Brown in Eugene O'Neill's Bread and Butter. He went on to play JFK Jr. in the TBS movie of the week, America's Prince. He's guest starred on Mad Men, Bones, House and CSI: Miami, among others and starred on Fox's North Shore.

Kristoffer is happily married to Julianne, with whom he has two children.
