Acclaimed actor Ray Wise stars as the Devil himself in The CW's "Reaper."

A veteran of television and film, Ray Wise received widespread critical acclaim last year for his memorable performance as troubled newsman Don Hollenbeck in the Warner Independent film "Good Night, and Good Luck," written, directed and starring George Clooney. Ray Wise and his co-stars shared "Best Ensemble Cast" nominations at both the 2006 Critic's Choice Awards and Screen Actor's Guild Award ceremonies. On the small screen, Ray Wise recurred as Vice President Hal Gardner on the popular series "24," starring Kiefer Sutherland.

Ray Wise's impressive acting resume includes more than 30 feature films, including starring roles in "Jeepers Creepers 2"; "Two Can Play That Game," with Vivica A. Fox; "Bob Roberts," with Tim Robbins; "Rising Sun," with Wesley Snipes; "The Chase," with Charlie Sheen; "Robocop," "Powder," with Mary Steenburgen and Jeff Goldblum, and "The Rainmakers." One of Ray Wise's favorite roles was playing Sol Gann, a Depression-era father in Disney's classic family drama "The Journey of Natty Gann."

It was his role on the latter that Ray Wise credits for catapulting him into international stardom.

To date, Ray Wise has also starred in 85 stage productions, including Broadway performances of "Romeo and Juliet" and "Tartuffe." Ray Wise's role as Yank Smith in Eugene O'Neill's "The Hairy Ape" garnered rave reviews, and in 1983, he received an OBIE Award for his work in Sam Shepard's "The Tooth of Crime."
