Geoffrey Arend

Arend is one of those actors whose face you recognize long before you can place the name, and I mean that as a compliment. He sneaks into ensembles and quietly walks off with scenes, like McKenzie's deadpan stoner in 500 Days of Summer. There's a New York theater-kid sharpness to his timing that the LaGuardia training clearly instilled. I appreciate that he's never chased leading-man branding; he's a craftsman who shows up, nails the supporting beat, and disappears back into the cast. Reliable character actors like him are the connective tissue that holds good movies and TV together, and they rarely get enough credit for it.

Geoffrey Arend (born February 28, 1978) is an American actor from Manhattan, New York. He is known for film and television roles including the romantic comedy 500 Days of Summer and recurring and series-regular parts on shows such as Body of Proof and Madam Secretary. A graduate of New York's LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, he has worked across stage, screen, and voice acting.
