Jeremy Sisto- Detective Cyrus Lupo
Jeremy Sisto returns to the esteemed cast of NBC's Emmy Award-winning drama "Law & Order," as it returns for its 19th season. Sisto will play Detective Kevin Bernard's (Anthony Anderson) partner.
Filmed entirely on location in New York City, "Law & Order" is a compelling, realistic drama that looks at crime and justice from a dual perspective: the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. "Law & Order" is the longest-running crime series and the second longest-running drama in the history of television.
The Chicago native began his theatrical career early when he appeared onstage at the Goodman Theater in a production of Tennessee Williams' last play, "A House Not Meant to Stand," as well as Bertolt Brecht's "Galileo," opposite Brian Dennehy.
In Los Angeles, Sisto's theater credits include: Richard Greenburg's Tony Award-winning play "Take Me Out" at the Geffen Playhouse (his performance earned him a Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Featured Performance) and Sidney Kingsley's "Dead End" at the Ahmanson Theater. Sisto also recently made his Broadway debut in the play "Festen," a stage adaptation of Thomas Vintenberg's film "The Celebration."
Sisto was part of the esteemed cast of HBO's award-winning drama series "Six Feet Under," in which he played the role of Billy Chenoweth for five seasons. His other television credits include the leads in two widely viewed miniseries -- "Jesus" and "Julius Caesar."
On the feature-film side, Sisto's credits include "Thirteen" (opposite Holly Hunter), "Grand Canyon," "Clueless," "Without Limits," "White Squall," "Suicide Kings," "May," "Angel Eyes" and "Hideaway."
Sisto also starred in and co-produced the independent film "One Point O," which played in the Sundance Film Festival dramatic competition.
Sisto's recent films include the dramatic thriller, "Unknown," with Jim Caviezel; the edgy drama, "Broken," opposite Heather Graham; and the late Adrienne Shelley's "Waitress," the Sundance Film Festival hit comedy in which he stars opposite Keri Russell. In the summer of 2008 Sisto filmed "Into Temptation," which he stars opposite of Kristen Chenoweth.
