Actor James Badge Dale was born into a show business family - with a choreographer father and actress mother. He studied acting at Manhattanville College, and eventually put his schooling to use, landing his big break in 2003 with the role of Chase Edmunds on the hit TV series 24. He would go on to appear in films as well, with supporting roles in movies like The Departed and The Conspirator, but Dale would find the most continual success in television, starring in acclaimed series like the crime-family drama The Black Donnellys, the Band of Brothers follow-up The Pacific, and the spy series Rubicon.
