Blessed with a piercing, blue-eyed glint, brawny looks, cocky 'tough guy' stance and effortless charisma, TV's Christopher Meloni has grabbed audiences' attention, male and female alike, finding breakthrough small screen stardom playing both sides of the law. Audiences first were taken in by his sexually arresting portrayal of a sociopathic killer in the gripping prison drama (1997) on cable TV. Although his small screen roots were in 90s situation comedy, the network powers-that-be wisely discovered his power and allure as a dramatic star and quickly handed him his own prime-time crime series, (1999), as a not-quite-by-the-book crime detective. This one-two punch of 'Oz' and 'Law & Order: SVU' put Meloni, who seems to grow sexier with age, on the map and well on top, where he remains today. Christopher Peter Meloni was born on April 2, 1961, in Washington, D.C., the son of Cecile (Chagnon) and Robert Meloni, an endocrinologist.

Of Italian and French-Canadian parentage, he attended St. Stephen's School and played quarterback for his high school team. Developing an interest in acting rather early in life, he attended the University of Colorado at Boulder following high school graduation.

He initially majored in acting but wound up earning a degree in history in 1983. Acting won out in the long run, however, and Chris relocated to New York where he studied with acting guru at the renowned Neighborhood Playhouse. Supplementing his income during these lean years by taking advantage of his powerful physique (as construction worker, bouncer, personal trainer), Meloni worked his way up the acting ladder via parts in commercials. With a full head of hair in the early days, he broke into series TV in 1989, the first being the already-established cable football comedy (1984). In this sitcom, which was HBO's very first back in 1984, Chris played ex-con quarterback Vito Del Greco (aka 'Johnny Gunn').

The series' star had already left the cast by the time Chris came aboard in its final season. Siedler 5 Free Download Vollversion. A second sitcom arrived almost immediately with the stereotypical Italian family sitcom (1990) featuring Chris as dim-eyed, skirt-chasing Frankie Fanelli, one of the four 'dees, dem and dos' sons of Brooklynite widow Theresa Fanelli ().

Despite a strong, boisterous cast, the show was painfully obvious and met an early demise. True to nature, Chris gave voice and added to the fun as a cocky, mooching high school teen who knows the 'how to's' of attracting pretty girl dinos in the animated prehistoric series (1991). He also made a manly mark in mini-movies with co-starring roles in such 'women' dramas as (1991) starring, (1992), which top-lined, (1993) as the caring husband of, and the starrer (1995). An interchangeable ability to convey both heartfelt sympathy and virile menace did not go by unnoticed. After minor parts on the big screen with (1994), (1994) and (1995), Chris drew strong notices in the featured role of gangster Johnnie Marzzone in the classic neo-noir (1996), which earned cult status for its sexually-charged lesbian sub-storyline. A tough recurring part on 'NYPD Blue', a typical mafia role in the mini-series (1997) and another short-lived comedic series lead ( (1997)) finally led to a big payoff in the brutal and brilliant cable series (1997).

Christopher's introduction to the Oz prison as bisexual psychopath Chris Keller was powerhouse casting and he drew immediate notice and critical applause into the show's second season. Unflinching in its blood-soaked presentation of life behind bars, Chris' raw animal magnetism was unparalleled on the show and his steamy, erotic couplings with another male prisoner on screen promoted him swiftly to gay icon status. Undaunted by the possible career-damaging effects that could occur, Chris' frank acceptance and acknowledgment was admirable indeed and his outright support of human rights causes earned him high marks. The father of two (daughter Sophia Eva Pietra (born March 23, 2001), and son Dante Amadeo (born January 2, 2004), he has been married since 1995 to production designer 'Sherman Williams' ( (1991)). Chris' sudden burst of cable notoriety earned him his own prime time NBC series. With the veteran 'Law & Order' program developing a sister spin-off, (1999), Meloni raised the bar with his trenchant pairing with co-star as partners of a special victims crime unit.
