Clark GreggSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

Throughout the '90s, Gregg divided his time between performances on the stage and screen. Working on efforts in both New York and Los Angeles, he directed productions of Kevin Heelan's "Distant Fires" and Mamet's "Edmond," in addition to garnering praise for his performance in an off-Broadway mounting of Jez Butterworth's "Mojo." Gregg added further to his steadily growing film resume with solid turns in such notable films as "Clear and Present Danger," "The Usual Suspects," Mamet's "The Spanish Prisoner" and Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia." Rounding out the decade, he made an indelible impression as the maternal, pre-operative transsexual step-father, Hank-Henrietta, in the indie coming-of-age drama "The Adventure of Sebastian Cole." As a writer, Gregg picked up his first screenplay credit for his work on the Robert Zemeckis-directed supernatural-thriller, "What Lies Beneath," starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer as a couple whose lakeside home hides a terrifying secret.

Gregg's ongoing collaboration with Mamet continued with a role in the writer-director's culture clash comedy "State and Main" and work in an off-Broadway revival of "Sexual Perversity in Chicago," also penned by Mamet. With the new millennium off to a promising start, Gregg later married "Dirty Dancing" actress Jennifer Grey in 2001. Continuing his string of supporting roles in wildly diverse projects, he played a robotics expert in director Steven Spielberg's homage to Stanley Kubrick, "A.I. Artificial Intelligence," then appeared alongside Mel Gibson in the Vietnam War drama, "We Were Soldiers," which Gibson also directed. In "Lovely & Amazing," the critically acclaimed ensemble comedy with Catherine Keener and Jake Gyllenhaal, Gregg played the husband of Michelle (Keener), a self-centered, struggling artist dealing with an unhappy marriage. That same year, he appeared in the dark psychological drama, "One Hour Photo," a well-regarded thriller starring an against-type creepy Robin Williams and directed by Mark Romanek.

Though Gregg's focus remained largely on the stage and film, he was also seen regularly on television with numerous guest spots on such popular shows as "Sex & the City," "The Shield" and Sorkin's "The West Wing" -- the latter of which provided Gregg with a recurring role as FBI Special Agent Michael Casper. He essayed real-life CNN news exec Eason Jordan in the award-winning docudrama "Live from Baghdad" then segued back to feature film, joining writer-director Mamet once again for the political thriller "Spartan," starring Val Kilmer. Gregg surfaced as a sycophantic corporate shark in the lauded comedy-drama "In Good Company," starring Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace and Scarlett Johansson and, amongst his many other projects, turned up in the family eco-adventure "Hoot," based on the young adult novel by Carl Hiaasen.

Gregg's return to screenwriting also marked his debut as a feature film director on the black comedy, "Choke." Based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, it starred Sam Rockwell as a recovering sex addict struggling to care for his Alzheimer's-afflicted mother (Angelica Huston). Gregg also appeared in the film, as did his father-in-law, actor Joel Grey. That same year, he entered what would become known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time when he picked up a small role as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson in the hugely successful comic book adaptation, "Iron Man" and its sequels, all of which starred Robert Downey, Jr. as billionaire inventor Tony Stark, the man inside the metal suit. He closed out the decade with such roles as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's boss in the indie romantic-comedy surprise hit "(500) Days of Summer," in addition to playing Julia Louis-Dreyfus' irresponsible ex-husband on all five seasons of the hit sitcom "The New Adventures of Old Christine."

After appearing as an uncaring penguin expert in the Jim Carrey family comedy, "Mr. Popper's Penguins," Gregg further expanded his Agent Coulson role in another epic superhero adventure, "Thor," featuring newcomer Chris Hemsworth as the titular God of Thunder. Having become a staple supporting character in the MCU, Gregg also voiced the character for the animated series, "Ultimate Spider-Man." Of course, it all led up to the hugely anticipated summer blockbuster, "The Avengers," in which Coulson struggled to help S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) maintain order amidst a volatile team of superheroes consisting of Iron Man (Downey, Jr.), Thor (Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans) and the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).

Gregg will be reprising his role as Agent Coulson on the new ABC television series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." in 2013.
