Biography
Secor was born in Tacoma, Washington, on May 31, 1957. He is the youngest of three sons born to a Beechnut salesman father, who raised them in Federal Way. Secor was an avid basketball player in school and initially had dreams of being an athlete involved with the U.S. Air Force. However, these dreams were dashed because of his extreme nearsightedness. After seeing a theatrical performance of Hello Dolly, Secor decided to switch career pursuits. He later graduated from Federal Way High School in 1975. In 1981, Secor moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue an acting career. His first major TV role was as the character Brian Bradford on the soap-opera Santa Barbara. This was soon followed by a stint on the medical drama series St. Elsewhere, in which he portrayed Bret Johnson, a patient dying of AIDS. He then starred in several movies, including Heart of Dixie, City Slickers, Sleeping with the Enemy, Delusion, and Untamed Heart.

Afterwards, Secor was cast as Detective Tim Bayliss in the 1993 pilot episode of Homicide: Life on the Street. The series was picked up, and he would fill in that role for its entirety. Afterwards, Secor went on to play a short-lived role on Party of Five and also made two feature films, titled Endsville and Beat. He then returned to TV in the CBS production City Of Angels and the made-for-TV movie Bailey's Mistake. In addition, Secor appeared in the pilot episode of Crossing Jordan and had a recurring supporting role in the cancelled ABC production of Philly. In 2004, he co-starred in the Lifetime-produced film Infidelity and the Disney-ABC miniseries A Wrinkle In Time. From 2005 to 2006, Secor starred in the ABC-produced series Commander in Chief, in which she portrayed the role of Rod Calloway, the husband of the titular character. In 2007, he starred as Alan "Skip" Matthews in the short-lived series Hidden Palms. Secor also landed the recurring role of Hanson North, a defense attorney who has a romantic history with Laura Harris' character in the ABC-produced series Women's Murder Club. He also starred in Boston Legal, in which he portrayed Dr. Robert L. Brooks. He then went on to guest star in Ghost Whisperer as Doug Bancroft, and The Closer as an airline pilot involved in drug smuggling.
