Raised in Flat Rock, Michigan, bald character actor Dann Florek majored in math and physics at Eastern Michigan University until a drama scholarship changed the course of his career direction. Trained at Juilliard, he appeared frequently on stage ranging from the classics ("Love's Labour's Lost," "A Midsummer Night's Dream") to contemporary pieces ("Strange Snow, "Big River," "The Three Cuckolds") appearing in such theater venues as the Globe Theatre and La Jolla Playhouse.
In Los Angeles from the 1980s on, he received his biggest break on dramatic TV series work playing pragmatic officials on such hit shows as La loi de Los Angeles (1986) and, most notably, New York - Police judiciaire (1990). Although not a name, he is a durable player and definable face who has occasionally engaged in film supports with Un flic aux trousses (1983), Angel Heart - Aux portes de l'enfer (1987), Pleine lune sur Parador (1988) and Une blonde en cavale (2000) among his credits.
