Biography
Currie Graham, born in Hamilton and raised in Cardinal, Ontario, played basketball in high school and was introduced to acting when he signed up for the drama program thinking it was a chance to catch some sleep before games. As fate had it, he fell in love with theater and began performing in school plays. His parent's dream for him to become a medical doctor was set aside and he instead enrolled at the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, where he found a new home and in acting, he discovered his calling. Currie continued to appear in theatrical productions during and after his stint at the academy.

He has been acting for over two decades and has filled up his resume with a variety of television and film credits from a wide array of roles and genres since the late '80s. Graham is best known for playing Lt. Thomas Bale, the micromanaging station commander in the final season of the TV program NYPD Blue. His other regular starring TV appearances include the final season of the TV program Suddenly Susan as the male lead/romantic interest Nate Knaborski.

His television debut was a guest appearance in an episode of Just the Ten of Us in 1988. It wasn't until in 1992 that he followed that up playing a part in a Law & Order episode. During the next three years, Graham did a handful of films and made-for-TV movies including the crime dramedy Money for Nothing (1993). While primarily recognized as a TV actor, he has added several film credits to his name including the action thrillers Rancid (2004) and Assault on Precinct 13 (2005).

Graham has established a prolific career in television with multiple guest-starring roles, including recurring roles in House playing the husband of Dr. House's ex-girlfriend Stacy, 24 as Ted Cofell, Boston Legal as ADA Frank 'My Name Appears Second on the Ballot this November' Ginsberg, Desperate Housewives as Lynette Scavo's boss, Ed Ferrara, and in Men in Trees as Supervisor Richard Ellis, the romantic interest of local chief of police Celia Bachelor. Other guest appearances include TV shows as Judging Amy, Patrick Lehane on the TV Mini-Series Would Be Kings, CSI, Criminal Minds, Ghost Whisperer, Lie to Me, The Mentalist and Castle. Recently, he appeared in the direct-to-DVD film Stargate: The Ark of Truth, a film conclusion of the Stargate SG-1 television franchise, as IOA agent James Marrick, and then he went to star as Nick Balco in the series Raising the Bar.

Criminal Minds
He portrayed Paul Thomas, a character of dubious moral and intentions who advertised himself as the Viper and got the attention of the team in the Season Four episode 52 Pickup.
