ACTOR
Clark Gregg made his television debut in a 1991 episode of Law & Order. He went on to build an impressive television career, appearing in acclaimed series such as Touched by an Angel, Sports Night, Sex and the City, Will & Grace, and The West Wing. He later became widely known for two prominent series-regular roles: Richard Campbell in The New Adventures of Old Christine and Agent Phil Coulson in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
