Mark Valley

Mark Valley is one of those actors I genuinely enjoy spotting because he keeps turning up in quality television without getting anywhere near the recognition he deserves. His run as Brad Chase on Boston Legal was terrific — holding his own opposite Shatner and Spader is no small feat — and then he got to headline Human Target as the shape-shifting Christopher Chance, a fun, kinetic action show that felt like it was cancelled just as it was finding its groove. Add in his early role as FBI Agent John Scott in Fringe, plus appearances in Harry's Law and Body of Proof, and you have a guy who spent the better part of a decade anchoring or supporting some of the most watchable prime-time drama on American television. He brings a steady, credible presence — authoritative without being stiff — and honestly the industry has never quite figured out what to do with that.
