| 4 | Anthony Marcus Shalhoub (born October 9, 1953 in Green Bay, Wisconsin) is a Lebanese-American actor best known for his work as a character actor in film and television. Born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Shalhoub's acting career started as an extra in a high school production of ''Theatre/TheKingAndI'', and he instantly fell in love with acting. He later earned a bachelor's degree in drama from the University of Southern Maine, and a master's from the Yale School of Drama in 1980. |

| 6 | He continued in theater productions such as ''Theatre/TheOddCouple'' and ''Theatre/ConversationsWithMyFather'', as well as bit parts in movies and television, but in 1991 he found a wider audience when he joined the regular cast of ''Series/{{Wings}}''. Since then he has enjoyed a solid status as That Guy You Recognize But Can't Name in dozens of smaller film and television roles, though his pseudo-anonymity arguably ended when he took the [[Characters/MonkAdrianMonk starring role]] in ''Series/{{Monk}}''. He has been nominated for and won a wide range of awards for his work, and has even lent his vocal talents to a handful of video games. |
