Courtney B. Vance Biography

From studying history at Harvard to making history in Hollywood, Courtney B. Vance has carefully cultivated an exceptional career that showcases his passion, talent, and intellect. His penchant for successfully finding the dignity and honor in each character he explores has made this award-winning actor a powerful presence from the theatrical boards to the silver screen and one of the most respected actors of his generation.

After graduating from the Yale School of Drama -- where he met his future wife, actress Angela Bassett -- Vance made his mark on Broadway in the 1980s with his Tony-nominated performance in "Fences," a play by August Wilson. He received his second Tony Award nomination starring in John Guare’s "Six Degrees of Separation" with Stockard Channing, and an Obie Award for his inspired work in South African playwright Athol Fugard’s "My Children! My Africa!" He was the 2013 winner of the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play in Nora Ephron’s "Lucky Guy," and also received a Drama League Distinguished Performance Award nomination for this stellar performance.

In film and television, Vance has delivered a wide range of performances that showcase his versatility. One of his most notable roles was as Johnnie Cochran in FX’s "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story," where his nuanced performance captured the famous defense attorney's charisma and legal prowess, earning him critical acclaim and a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series.

Courtney’s talents have frequently extended to notable TV series and movies. He is especially known for his performances as A.D.A. Ron Carver in NBC's long-running hit series "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." After his film debut as Spc. Abraham ‘Doc’ Johnson in "Hamburger Hill," he appeared in several noteworthy films such as "The Hunt for Red October," "The Preacher’s Wife," "Space Cowboys," "The Adventures of Huck Finn," "The Tuskegee Airmen," "The Photograph," "The Mummy" and "Isle of Dogs," among others.

In addition to his dramatic roles, Vance has taken on leadership positions behind the scenes, producing and advocating for greater diversity in Hollywood. His work extends to philanthropic efforts, including his support of education and youth mentorship programs. A native of Detroit, Michigan, he is a proud Ambassador for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
