Geoffrey Lower was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming. When a love for acting eclipsed his pre-law studies at the University of Nebraska, he transferred to the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City, where he gained respect for his stage work. Subsequently, he worked with the Public Theatre in New York City, at the New York Shakespeare Festival and on Broadway with Garson Kanin in "Happy Ending", for which he received a Drama Critics Award. He also performed in the Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, D.C. Additional stage credits include "The Taming of the Shrew" and "Much Ado About Nothing" with the Los Angeles Shakespeare Festival, "Love's Labor Lost" with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival and "The Merchant of Venice" at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. His contemporary theater credits include "What Doesn't Kill Us" at the McCadden Theatre in Hollywood, "There's One in Every Marriage" at P.R.T.E. and "The Marrieds" at the Whitmore-Lindley Theatre Center. In addition to six seasons as the Rev. Timonthy Johnson on Docteur Quinn, femme médecin (1993), Lower's television career includes two seasons on The Trials of Rosie O'Neill (1990), as well many guest appearances on other TV series. His film appearances have placed him alongside a wide array of award-winning colleagues, including Frances McDormand, John Lithgow, Robin Williams, Giancarlo Giannini and Peter Gallagher. Lower lives in Los Angeles with his wife, producer Karen Severin. He is represented by Terry Lichtman.
