Teddy Sears stars as Richard Patrick Woolsley IV on TNT's "Raising the Bar."
When Steven Bochco cast Teddy Sears in the role of Richard Patrick Woolsley IV in "Raising the Bar," he had no way of knowing the parallels between the actor's life and the character's life. Woolsley is the scion of a wealthy legal dynasty who turns renegade to become a legal defender, while Sears is, in real life, a descendant of Plymouth Rock pilgrims who left the business world to become an actor.
Growing up in
Sears moved to New York and studied with acclaimed coach William Esper. Sears worked tirelessly in the crucible of daytime drama and landed guest-star roles in series like "Law & Order." He showed his comedy chops in bits on the "Late Show with David Letterman" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and then moved to Los Angeles, where he worked steadily in film and as a guest star in both television drama and comedy prior to joining the cast of "Raising the Bar." He just completed the feature "A Single Man," starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore, for release in 2010.
Sears makes his home in a beach community south of Los Angeles, where he uses his few spare hours surfing and training for triathlons.

Chevy Chase, Maryland, Sears was a great student and an even better athlete. He's the great-grandson of a 1912 Olympic gold medalist (shooting) and nephew of an aunt who brought home a bronze in the 100 meter butterfly from the 1956 Games. He followed that tradition of excellence with state and national recognition in high school football and swimming and played varsity football for the University of Maryland. He graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in business management before discovering his true calling as an actor.Sears moved to New York and studied with acclaimed coach William Esper.
