films such as "Freedom Writers," "Storytelling," "Duplex," "Barbershop 2: Back in Business" and "The Forgotten." To shape his character for director Michael Radford's "Dancing at the Blue Iguana" (an "improvised film"), Wisdom spent five months doing improvisation work. He landed his first major studio film as John Travolta's entrusted FBI partner in "Face/Off." He followed this up with "Mighty Joe Young," co-starring Charlize Theron, and "The Heist," director Kurt Voss' underground hit. Wisdom also appeared in "The Hawk is Dying" at the Sundance Film Festival, and had a pivotal role in the Oscar-Award winning film "Ray." He recently finished working opposite Mark Ruffalo in "Sympathy for Delicious," which will be competing at Sundance this year.

His television guest appearances include "ER," "NYPD Blue," "Dharma & Greg," "Judging Amy," "Lie to Me," "Supernatural," "NCIS," "How I Met Your Mother" and "Boomtown."

Before heading to Hollywood, Wisdom worked steadily as an actor in London and in repertory around England. He is a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in history and economics.
