Michael Chiklis stars in "No Ordinary Family" on ABC as Jim Powell.

Universally known for his portrayal of Detective Vic Mackey on FX's groundbreaking drama "The Shield," Michael Chiklis has earned numerous awards for his history-making performance on the series, beginning with the Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Drama in 2002. This award was closely followed by both the Emmy and Golden Globe in 2003. Chiklis is the first actor in the history of advertiser-supported cable television to capture both awards. His performance also earned him both a 2004 and 2005 Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Series. In addition to his critically acclaimed acting, over the course of the show he also assumed the role of producer and director for several of the program's episodes.

In 1991 Chiklis captured the title role on ABC's "The Commish." He then went on to Broadway and starred in the one-man show, "Defending the Caveman." Other television credits include "Daddio," a starring role as Curly in the ABC movie "The Three Stooges," executive-produced by Mel Gibson, and guest appearances in several popular series, including "Miami Vice," "L.A. Law," "Murphy Brown" and "Seinfeld."

A notable actor on the silver screen, Chiklis will appear later this year in the independent comedy "High School," which premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. He was recently seen in "Eagle Eye," opposite Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan, and starred in the live-action film "Fantastic Four," as well as its sequel, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," portraying Ben Grimm, aka "The Thing." Additional film credits include the horror thriller "Rise," opposite Lucy Liu, "Tax Man," with Joe Pantoliano, "Do Not Disturb," opposite William Hurt and Jennifer Tilly, "Last Request," "Body and Soul" and the controversial film "Wired," in which he played the part of John Belushi. It was a role he auditioned for only days after his college graduation.



A natural performer, Chiklis was raised in Lowell Massachusetts and began entertaining his family with celebrity imitations when he was just five years old. As a child, he appeared in regional theater productions and earned his Equity card at age 13. He later attended Boston University School of Performing Arts, where he received his B.F.A.
