ooh anson mount i liked him in crossroads, cant wait to see him in this new show.

[LivingInTheOCsucks]

I do too. he was great in crossroads. he was better in the Battle of Shaker Heights

[Cursed]

I actually never saw him in those movies. I do remember having a little crush on him when I first saw Urban Legends: Final Cut.

And I loved him on ABC's "Line of Fire." Thankfully, he looks a little bit more cleaned up in "The Mountain" than he did in "Line of Fire."

OMG he looks really old in that picture....

He was so gorgeous in Crossroads.

Biography at yahoo:

Trained theater actor Anson Mount hesitated to audition for his breakthrough film role in the Britney Spears vehicle Crossroads (2002), fearing that the project was too cheesy and mainstream. Yet, a little prodding from Spears fan Robert De Niro convinced him otherwise and the 29-year-old Mount was soon America's newest teen heartthrob. Born Anson Adams Mount II in Prospect Heights, IL, Mount is the only child of former professional golfer Nancy Smith and late Playboy Magazine sports editor Anson Mount II. He grew up in White Bluff, TN, and attended Dickson County High School in nearby Dickson, where he landed his first acting role as a supporting player in a school play. After graduating in 1991, Mount enrolled at Tennessee's University of the South, joined a fraternity, and dedicated himself to performance art and theater. He went on to earn a master's degree in fine arts and acting from Columbia University and then joined the New York City theater scene. Mount first made headlines in 1998, when he starred as Joshua, a gay character who represents a modern-day Jesus, in playwright Terrence McNally's controversial Corpus Christi. Over 1,000 protesters representing religious groups turned out for the play's much-hyped opening performance, which then received scathing reviews from right-wing and left-wing newspapers alike. In 1999, Mount made his television debut in a guest spot on Fox's Ally McBeal and then took a memorable turn in an episode of HBO's Sex in the City. The part led to a recurring role on the NBC drama Third Watch in 2000. That same year, he appeared on film in Boiler Room with Giovanni Ribisi and Ben Affleck, played the title role in Hillary Birmingham's The Truth About Tully, and portrayed a driven student filmmaker in the sequel to Urban Legends, Urban Legends: Final Cut. After working on 2001's forgettable Poolhall Junkies with Chazz Palminteri and Rick Shroder, Mount earned a part in the star-studded City by the Sea, with Robert De Niro, Patti Lupone, James Franco, Eliza Dushku, William Forsythe, and Francis McDormand. Mount was on the set of City by the Sea, reading the screenplay to Tamra Davis' Crossroads, when De Niro asked about the script. Mount explained that he was up for the part of Britney Spears' love interest in the film, but he had doubts about the project. De Niro told Mount not to be foolish, and agreed to help the young actor rehearse by reading Spears' lines. Mount landed the role, and even appeared in the pages of Teen and Seventeen magazines, but he did not allow himself to be pigeonholed as a mainstream actor: Around the time of Crossroads' highly publicized opening, he sealed a deal to appear in a film to be directed by the notoriously unconventional Peter Greenaway. ~ Aubry Anne D'Arminio, All Movie Guide

Thanks for the bio, Pace & Jo. It was a very intersting read. I've never seen any of Anson's work, so I'm looking forward to seeing him in The Mountain.

I haven't seen any of his work either. I do remember the movie "Crossraods" with Britney Spears though. I think we really lucked out with getting such great actors for this show.

Here's another mini bio from IMDb:

Birth name Anson Adams Mount IV -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mini biography Attended Columbia University for MFA Acting Program 1995-1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMDb mini-biography by -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trivia Graduated Dickson County High School, Dickson TN, 1991. Graduated from the University of the South in 1995. Was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity. Only child of pro golfer Nancy Smith and Playboy sports editor Anson Mount, II. Was Reluctant to play the role of Ben Kimble in "Crossroads (2002)" because he thought the movie, and the role, was too cheesy and lame. However, while working on the movie "City by the Sea (2002)", co-star Robert DeNiro encouraged Mount to take the part, being that DeNiro is a big Britney Spears fan. During breaks from filming "Sea", Mount and DeNiro would go over the script from the movie; Mount reading his lines and DeNiro reading Spears' lines!
