Jeffrey DeMunn stars in "The Walking Dead" on AMC as Dale.

A classically-trained actor whose versatility and pliability allow him to play roles running the gamut from weak to menacing, Jeffrey DeMunn received his training at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in London. Upon his return to the U.S., he spent two years with the National Shakespeare Company, touring America in productions of "King Lear" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." DeMunn continued to establish himself as a potent stage presence

throughout the 1970s and 80s in such plays as Trevor Griffiths' "Comedians" (1976), "A Prayer for My Daughter" (1978), "Modigliani" (1979), "K2" (1982), for which was nominated for a Tony Award, and "Spoils of War" (1988), opposite Kate Nelligan.

DeMunn made his motion picture debut opposite Ellen Burstyn in "Resurrection" (1980). He went on to play numerous supporting roles, including Harry Houdini in Milos Forman's "Ragtime" (1981), a moodily and sullen Clifford Odets opposite Jessica Lange in "Frances" (1982), a provincial sheriff who doesn't know what to make of "The Blob" (1988) and the father of one of the leaders of the newsboy strike in "Newsies" (1992). In 1994, DeMunn was the D.A. who helps to convict Tim Robbins of murder in the early sequences of Frank Darabont's "The Shawshank Redemption" and co-starred in Jon Turtletaub's "Phenomenon" (1996), as a professor investigating John Travolta's newfound abilities.

On the small screen, DeMunn has become a frequent presence in high profile made-for-cable films and PBS specials. He made his TV debut in ABC's "The Last Tenant" (1978), played Doc Holliday in NBC's "I Married Wyatt Earp" (1983) and was a doctor offered Veronica Hamel a real relationship in ABC's "Sessions" (1983). Among his notable appearances on PBS are "Mourning Becomes Electra" and several productions for "American Playhouse" (e.g. "The Joy That Kills" in 1985, "Eugene O'Neill: Journey into Genius" in 1988, as George Pierce Baker). Other notable credits include playing the adult magician in ABC's "Young Harry Houdini" (1987), a cautious paper clip-counting executive in HBO's "Barbarians at the Gate" (1993), Robert Oppenheimer in Showtimes's "Hiroshima" (1995), a Russian serial killer in HBO's "Citizen X" (1995), for which he received a CableACE Award, and Mel Korn, one of the anchorwoman's husbands in Lifetime's "Almost Golden: The Jessica Savitch Story" (1995). He also played the recurring role of Professor Norman Rothenberg in "Law & Order."
