Spin City Cast 2000 - Present
Charlie Sheen joined the cast of Spin City last year in the show's fifth season as Charlie Crawford, the charismatic and charming deputy mayor of New York City, to much acclaim. Sheen continues to shine as he enters the sixth season of this sophisticated comedy.
An actor of rare talent and instinct, Sheen's career has grown from cameo appearances to leading man in the span of 17 years. While his abilities and timing have earned him the respect and admiration of the Hollywood filmmaking community, his performances have been consistently imbued with intelligence and pathos, all the more striking in an actor who has come so far so fast.
Sheen appeared in the Showtime Original film Rated X, co-starring with his brother, Emilio Estevez, and in USA Films' Being John Malkovich. He also starred in the upcoming Good Advice.
Sheen has become one of the world's top young film actors, starring in over 40 motion pictures — including two Academy Award®-winning films — while also working with some of the most important directors in the industry, including John Milius, John Hughes, Oliver Stone, Dennis Hopper, John Sayles, and Clint Eastwood.
Sheen was catapulted to fame in Oliver Stone's 1986 Academy Award-winning film Platoon, as young recruit Chris Taylor. The following year, he starred in yet another Academy Award-winner, portraying the role of young stockbroker Bud Fox, who is seduced by greed, in Wall Street.
Sheen has also shown his talents in such films as Red Dawn, Lucas, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Eight Men Out, Young Guns, Major League, Hot Shots! and Hot Shots! Part Deux, The Three Musketeers, The Chase, and Money Talks, among others.

Prior to Spin City, four-time Golden Globe nominee Heather Locklear spent seven seasons as the beautiful and scheming Amanda Woodward on Melrose Place. She starred in the Joel Silver/Richard Donner film, Double Tap, Money Talks (Co-Starring With Charlie Sheen), and the critically acclaimed telefilm Shattered Mind, in which she portrayed a woman suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder.
She began her acting career appearing in television commercials while attending UCLA, and has become one of the industry's most sought-after actresses. She has longstanding ties to ABC, having starred in the miniseries Texas Justice in 1995, and had concurrent starring roles in the series Dynasty and T.J. Hooker in the 1980s. Her feature films include The First Wives Club and Wayne's World 2, among others.
The youngest of four children, Locklear grew up in Southern California and currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, and their daughter, Ava. Over the years she has lent her time and support to the American Suicide Foundation and many other worthwhile charitable organizations.

Born in Trenton, New Jersey, and raised in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Kind was the oldest of two children in "a nice, middle-class household." As a child he portrayed numerous roles in school plays, and he laughs as he remembers one of his meatier parts — playing Fagin in a fifth-grade production of Oliver! At Northwestern University he was a pre-law major and, upon graduation, was expected to go to law school. However his dad's best friend urged him to give acting a try for a year, saying, "You'll kick yourself if you don't." This advice changed Kind's life.
He went to New York, where he struggled to make a living doing commercials, showcases, and waiting tables. After four years he moved to Chicago, where he worked with the Practical Theatre Company, founded by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Brad Hall, and Gary Kroeger. He was hired by Second City, where he honed his comedic talents for four years in productions such as How Green Were My Values; John, Paul, Sartre and Ringo; and True Midwest; then relocated to Los Angeles, where he performed for Second City's L.A. troupe.

A long way from his Tony-nominated performance as the legendary Danny Zuko in the original Broadway production of Grease, Barry Bostwick has matured into the stately, good natured, well-dressed, well-intentioned, intelligent but sometimes naive Mayor Randall Winston, who keeps Spin City's City Hall staff on their toes.
No stranger to politics, Bostwick also portrayed George Washington in the epic CBS miniseries George Washington. However, aside from politics, Bostwick's impressive repertoire includes appearances on stage, screen, and television, as well as singing, dancing, drama, romance, the classics, and comedy.
Bostwick has had starring roles in many highly acclaimed television films and miniseries. He won a Golden Globe for his performance as Lt. "Lady" Aster in ABC's 30-hour presentation of War and Remembrance. He also starred in Deceptions, A Woman of Substance, You Can't Take It With You, Once Upon a Family, Body of Evidence, Addicted to Love, Parent Trap III, and Challenger.
Bostwick starred in three adaptations of Judith Krantz novels — I'll Take Manhattan, Scruples, and 'Til We Meet Again — as well as Danielle Steel's miniseries Once in a Lifetime. He also starred in the ABC series Foul Play and Dads, the Lifetime special Santa and Me, and the sci-fi thriller Tales from a Parallel Universe. Besides George Washington, Bostwick played another President in Men in White, National Lampoon's spoof of Men in Black.
Additionally he has appeared in several television musical specials for PBS, including Broadway Plays Washington, The Best of Broadway, In Performance at the White House, Irving Berlin's 100th Birthday Celebration at Carnegie Hall, and an adaptation of the Broadway hit, Working. He hosted A Capitol Fourth, the PBS Fourth of July Special, live from the steps of the U.S. Capitol, for the fourth time in a row. He has also hosted Saturday Night Live, and danced and sang with Carol Burnett in her special Men, Movies, and Carol.

"Fry... Fry... Fry..." -The Echonomaics Teacher (Ben Stein) "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
Prior to Spin City, Alan Ruck was probably best known for the role of Cameron in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Charlie Sheen Made a Cameo Apperance In it As the Boy In The Police Station). After studying theater in high school and then at the University of Illinois, he began acting professionally in Chicago, appearing in numerous productions at the Goodman and Wisdom Bridge Theaters, among others. He made his Broadway debut in Neil Simons' Biloxi Blues, originating the role of Don Carney.
Other films include Twister, Star Trek: Generations, Speed, Young Guns II (He Co-Stared with Charlie's Bro, Emilio Estevez), and Bloodhounds of Broadway. Ruck also had a recurring role on Mad About You, and starred in the ABC comedy Going Places, with Heather Locklear, and the comedy Muscle, with Michael Boatman. He also appeared in Everything Put Together, an official entry at the 2000 Sundance Festival, and in the independent feature, Walking to the Waterline, in which he worked once more with Matthew Broderick.
Ruck lives with his wife and their two kids in New York

As Carter, the Mayor's special assistant for minority affairs, Michael Boatman showcases his versatile acting ability and has been nominated for two NAACP Image Awards for his work on the show. Additionally, this talented actor simultaneously appears on the cable comedy series Arli$$, also in its fifth season.
Boatman was born in Colorado Springs but grew up in Chicago, the oldest of three children. He first became involved in theater to meet girls at school, and later became a member of the speech team, participating in competitions. He studied theater at Western Illinois University, playing major roles in plays ranging from Purlie Victorious to The Seagull and A Midsummer Night's Dream. He performed at the Kennedy Center in the Irene Ryan National Competition, for which he won the Best Supporting Actor Award. After graduation, he worked for a casting director for a month and was then cast as Motown in Hamburger Hill, which was shot in the Philippines and which, he notes, was the first film job for nearly every actor in the movie, including himself.
After that film Boatman moved to New York, where he performed off-Broadway and worked various jobs. He then relocated to Los Angeles for ABC's dramatic series China Beach. Boatman's television career took off, and his roles since have included Muscle, in which he co-starred with Alan Ruck, as well as The Jackie Thomas Show. He has guest-starred on The Larry Sanders Show and Living Single, and has been in numerous movies for television, including Fourth Story for cable, In the Line of Duty: Street War, and the PBS special, The Trial of Bernard Goetz.
Boatman's other films include Peacemaker, The Glass Shield, Sidney Lumet's Running On Empty, and the independent film, Unbecoming Age. His theater work includes The Glass Menagerie in San Francisco, and the off-Broadway Tiny Mommy at the Playwright's Horizons.
Boatman's second love is writing, and he has recently completed his second science fiction-oriented novel. He has also been an avid comic book collector since third grade. He and his wife spend their time in both Los Angeles and New York, with their two children.

Since Michael J. Fox returned to series television in "Spin City," he has won critical praise, two Golden Globes, three Emmy nominations and a People's Choice Award.
Born Michael Andrew Fox (he adopted the "J" as an homage to legendary character actor Michael J. Pollard), he made his professional acting debut at the age of 15 in the CBC situation comedy, Leo and Me.
Venturing to Los Angeles three years later, Fox struggled through a series of bit parts, short-lived series and the well-received Palmerstown USA before winning the role of Alex P. Keaton in the enormously popular Family Ties, which earned him three Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe and TV stardom.
Michael's other forays into television included Woody Allen's Don't Drink the Water and directing an episode of cable's Tales From the Crypt, in which he also guest starred. He also directed an episode of the critically acclaimed Brooklyn Bridge.
Fox has become an international film star, as well, appearing in more than a dozen feature films including the three Back to the Future films, Doc Hollywood, The Secret of My Success, Bright Lights, Big City, Teen Wolf, Casualties of War, The American President and Mars Attacks! He also provides the voice of Stuart Little for the upcoming feature film of the same name.
Married to actress Tracy Pollan, Fox spends his free time enjoying old movies, watching sporting events and running his own production company, Lottery Hill Entertainment.
Victoria Dillard began performing at the age of five with the Dance Theatre of Harlem. She worked with the company until she was eighteen, appearing in such productions as "Porgy and Bess" at the Metropolitan Opera. She went on tour with Mickey Rooney in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." When the run ended in California, she was cast in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
After that first television show, she performed in George Schlatter's new version of Laugh-In and performed opposite James Earl Jones and Eddie Murphy in her first feature film, Coming to America.
Her television credits include The Ditchdigger's Daughter, Seinfeld, L.A. Law, Roc, Martin and Murder in Mississippi.
Victoria's most memorable professional role to date was playing the wife of Denzel Washington's character in Ricochet. She can be seen in a cameo role in the Taye Diggs movie, The Best Man. Her other film credits include The Glass Shield, Internal Affairs, Deep Cover, Albert and Out of Sync.
Victoria resides in New York.
Connie Britton's popularity with television audiences began with a love/hate relationship as Paige's too-perfect sister, Heather, on the series, Ellen. She also received accolades for her starring roles in the Ed Burns' films, The Brothers McMullen and No Looking Back.
Born in Massachusetts, Britton moved to Virginia at the age of seven with her family, including her fraternal twin sister. She attended Dartmouth College, where she majored in Asian studies and spent a term in Beijing, China. Upon graduation, she moved to New York, where she spent two years at the Neighborhood Playhouse studying with Sanford Meisner and an additional two years performing in regional theater and off-Broadway productions. After the success of The Brothers McMullen, she moved to Los Angeles.
Britton has aided in the success of the volunteer fund-raising organization, The Big Bam!, by serving as its national spokesperson. The foundation's main goal is to promote breast cancer awareness and to raise money for other charities that aid the growing number of young women developing breast cancer.
Britton resides in both New York and L.A.
Alexander Chaplin can hardly remember a time when he didn't know he wanted to be an actor. At the age of six, he performed in a local production of "The King and I" and, with the encouragement of his parents, a novelist and a jazz musician, pursued acting throughout his youth -- in school plays, community theater and at a Catskills summer camp specializing in drama. At 16, Chaplin played Eugene in "Brighton Beach Memoirs" at a local theater in Westchester.
Chaplin attended the Juilliard School, where he honed his craft in countless productions. After his first year, he was delighted to land a summer job in The Mall, a three-part ABC Afterschool Special.
After graduation, he played the title role in the Public Theatre's "Petrified Prince," directed by the legendary Harold Prince, which he counts as one of his most memorable professional experiences.
Chaplin finished production in 1999 on The Living Room Waltz, as well as the independent film, 30 Days. Prior to Spin City, he appeared in the premiere episode of Homicide: Life on the Street. He made his film debut in The Basketball Diaries opposite Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg.
Chaplin is an avid tennis player, a fan of boxing and enjoys fishing and traveling. He resides in New York City with his wife, Daisy, and their daughter, Lucy.
This darkly pretty, intelligent performer was born on August 29, 1971, in Sarasota, Florida. When she was just five years old she moved with her mother to Paradise, California. During her childhood, they moved many times within the state. But Carla remained a straight-A student throughout high school and even graduated as valedictorian. A major modeling agency discovered Carla in San Diego, and sent her to New York to begin her career when she was just 15. New York though, was more than she could handle at such a young age. She returned to Los Angeles in the summer, modeling and enrolling in an acting class at the suggestion of her spokesmodel aunt, "The Lovely Carol Merrill" of "Let's Make a Deal" fame. She guested on such mid-80s shows as "Alf", "Falcon Crest", "Who's the Boss?" and "Webster" before making her film debut as one of the more spoiled members of "Troop Beverly Hills" (1989). She played Winona Ryder as a teen in "Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael" (1990) before concentrating on TV work.
Gugino had small parts in the racial drama "Murder Without Motive: The Edmund Perry Story" (NBC) and the HBO abortion drama "A Private Matter" (both 1992), and played a teen kidnapped by a "Motorcycle Gang" (Showtime, 1994) before making her first big impression as Nan St. George, one of the bumptious 19th century debutantes in "The Buccaneers" (PBS, 1995), based on the Edith Wharton novel. It was shortly after this that Gugino was cast as Michael J. Fox's live-in girlfriend, a sexy but serious City Hall reporter, in Fox's much-ballyhooed return to sitcoms, "Spin City" (ABC, 1996). Despite earning good notices, Gugino left the show after twelve episodes as the series format was changed slightly to emphasize the working life of Fox's character.
Gugino was slowly gaining experience in feature films, as well. After a supporting role in the well-received coming-of-age drama "This Boy's Life" (1993), she had her first lead, as Pauly Shore's farm-bred girlfriend, in the less felicitous "Son-in-Law" (1993). More small roles followed, including Sarah Jessica Parker's sister in the comedy "Miami Rhapsody" (1995). In the animal tale "Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco" (1996), she and sitcom co-star Fox provided the voices for two dogs engaged in a romance. In 1996, she also had small supporting roles in Emilio Estevez's Vietnam-era drama "The War at Home", the marital comedy "Wedding Bell Blues" and Nora Ephron's angelic fantasy "Michael". In 1998 she played opposite Nicolas Cage in the conspiracy thriller, "Snake Eyes", and then took on the role of co-producer in "Judas Kiss", which she also stars. Recently Carla became a spokeswoman for L'Oreal, and is currently a series regular on the critically acclaimed CBS medical drama, Chicago Hope. During her free time, Carla enjoys yoga, traveling and spending time with her friends in Los Angeles.
Taylor Stanley joined the talented cast of Another World in June 1998 originating the role of Remy Woods, a mysterious troublemaker who catches Nick Hudson's eye (played by talented Mark Mortimer).She has proven way beyond a doubt her sensational skill as she plays this multi-dimensional character. She brings life and believability to "Remy" and Another World is very lucky to have Taylor as an addition to the show and family.
Taylor has had a reccuring role on the sitcom "Spin City" and had a guest starring role on the pilot episode of "The Invisible Man" and ABC's "All My Children".
Taylor has appeared in the Off-Broadway production of "Where The Truth Lies". Her regional Theater credits include MASCARA with the Arizona Theater company and Spring Awakening with the New York Performance works.
Jennifer Esposito joined the cast of "Spin City" as Stacy, the wise-cracking, feisty secretary to the Deputy Mayor of New York. She had the challenging job of appearing on two primetime television shows simultaneously, since she had a recurring role as a "Mafia princess" on "New York Undercover."
In summer, 1998, she completed filming the much-anticipated sequel, "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer," slated for a November 1998 release; and Spike Lee's latest project, "Summer of Sam." She also will appear in the forthcoming Ismail Merchant feature, "Side Streets." Last spring, Jennifer was in the Ed Burns film, "No Looking Back"; and prior to that, in the independent film, "Kiss Me Guido."
Jennifer resides in New York.
Success for the the 5' 7 1/2" Rockville, Maryland native has hardly been overnight. Born on June 12, 1964, Paula Marshall graduated in 1982 from the now defunct Peary High School in Rockville. She attended Montgomery College in Rockville and worked as a governmental typist at the National Institute of Health. Paula Marshall spent years behind the camera as a photographer.Photography is one of Paula's great passions, particularly black and white photography. Ms Marshall first appeared on TV in 1988 as a young divorcee with a baby on "The Wonder Years". She also guest starred on the series "Life Goes On". Paula Marshall made her big screen debut in Hichcox's 1992 dark movie Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth. One of Paula's heros when she was growing up was the camp character Elvira.
Paula Marshall's biggest show business break occurred in 1993 when she landed a role on the "Seinfeld" episode "The Outing". Ms Marshall played a NYU reporter who mistakenly outs Jerry and George. The episode is most noted for its incessant refrain of "not that there is anything wrong with that" as an adjunct to Jerry and George's gay denials. The role propelled and plagued Paula Marshall. It made her almost instantly recognizable to millions but the constant harangue of "aren't you the one who..." grew increasingly frustrating. Paula thought the bit was funny "but after a while, it was all I heard." Ironically, Ms Marshall, who sought to put the episode behind her, landed a role as Bette Middler's daughter in the 1994 movie That Old Feeling after Midler saw the "Seinfeld" episode and knew that she had found a kindred spirit.
Numerous TV roles followed including a leading role on the the short-lived "Wild Oats" and a recurring role on "Spin Ciy" as Michael J. Fox's love interest. She followed with the female lead in the NBC sitcom"Chicago Sons". And last fall Paula Marshall landed a starring role in the brilliantly written and witty ABC show "Cupid" opposite her neighbor and friend Jeremy Piven. Paula Marshall played the psychiatrist of a patient who believes he is Cupid. Unfortunately, ABC jerked the show around and never gave it the time to develop its audience. Cupid slang his last arrow around Valentine's Day. The show suffered from abysmal ratings but the timing and chemistry between Jeremy Piven and Paula Marshall were first rate. For the show to have survived they probably would have played up the increasingly complicated relationship between their characters. Currently, Paula Marshall plays a private detective on David E. Kelley's new series "Snoops". Gina Gershon plays the head of the detective agency. Paula plays the "by the book" ex-cop and Gina plays the free-spirited, leather-jacketed one. Unfortunately, ABC just dropped Paula from the show. Rumor has it that they just shot the episode where Paula is killed. Perhaps this is a carryover from her earlier comments about not knowing who was in charge. Her comment came in the wake of Rob Thomas' quitting the show. In any event, Paula's considerable talents can be put to better use.
