JOHN LAROQUETTE

Bud McGrath

Multiple Emmy Award winner John Larroquette stars as news editor Bud McGrath in NBC's epic new miniseries "The Storm."

A four-time Emmy winner for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, Larroquette is best known to television audiences as Assistant District Attorney Dan Fielding, a role he played on NBC's "Night Court" during the show's eight-season run. He also starred in the NBC comedy series "The John Larroquette Show" and was nominated for an Emmy Award in the show's second season.

Currently, Larroquette stars as a series regular on the Emmy- and SAG-nominated drama "Boston Legal." Larroquette most recently starred as the title character in Hallmark's critically acclaimed crime series "McBride" from 2004-2005. Larroquette also starred on the NBC sitcom "Happy Family" opposite Christine Baranski that same year.

In summer 2002, Larroquette starred in the fifth installment of the popular Beethoven film franchise, "Big Paw: Beethoven 5," about a large, crime-stopping St. Bernard named Beethoven. The Universal Pictures film also starred Faith Ford and Daveigh Chase. That same year, Larroquette returned to the stage with a starring role in Neil Simon's "Oscar and Felix: a New Look at the Odd Couple." In this updated version of the Tony Award-winning play "The Odd Couple," Larroquette played the role of the slovenly sportswriter, Oscar, opposite Joe Regalbuto as Felix. The play was performed at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.

Larroquette won his fifth Emmy in 1998 as a guest-star in two episodes of the television drama "The Practice." A passionate collector himself, Larroquette also hosted A&E Network's 22-episode series "The Incurable Collector." Each episode featured aficionados from across the United States and their interests in antiques and rare items.

On the big screen, Larroquette starred in Warner Bros.' "Richie Rich" opposite Macaulay Culkin, where he played the comedic villain who kidnaps Richie's parents. Larroquette's flair for comedy helped bring to life the long-running success of the Harvey Comics strip.

Larroquette's film credits include co-starring roles in Blake Edwards' "Blind Date," as well as "Summer Rental," "Stripes," "Choose Me," "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock," "Altered States," "Cat People," and "Twilight Zone: The Movie."
