 Ivan Sergei mini-bio: Ivan Sergei got his start in the
mid-1990s, racking up numerous TV roles following his 1995 big-screen debut, but is
best known for his pivotal supporting turn as easily-led eye candy in Don Roos'
acclaimed independent "The Opposite of Sex" (1998) and his starring role on the
romantic comedy series "Jack & Jill" (The WB, 1999-2001). The New Jersey native's
big break came in the form of an open casting call for the 1995 high school-set
drama "Dangerous Minds", starring Michelle Pfeiffer as a Marine turned English
teacher who connects with her inner city class. Sergei landed the role of
intimidating and troubled Huero in the film, working alongside real-life gang
members as well as actors. The performer stayed out West and pursued an acting
career, working extensively in TV series guest roles including "Touched By an Angel"
(CBS, 1994), "Cybill" (CBS, 1995) and "Party of Five" (CBS, 1996) as well as landing
parts in numerous TV-movies, from 1994's campy "Bionic Ever After?" (CBS) and 1996's
unforgettable "Mother, May I Sleep With Danger" (NBC) to the somewhat more
respectable actioner "John Woo's Once a Thief" (Fox).
Sergei returned to feature work with a role in the 1997 independent western
"Gunfighter's Moon", an international theatrical release that went direct-to-video
in the USA. The following year he essayed the role a slow-witted hunk seduced by the
manipulative half-sister (Christina Ricci) of his partner (Martin Donovan) in Don
Roos' acclaimed independent black comedy "The Opposite of Sex". Beginning in 1999,
he reached a wider audience with a starring role on the romantic comedy "Jack &
Jill" as David 'Jill' Jillefsky, an awkward but charming toy designer who falls for
his affianced neighbor in New York City. During the series' 1999-2001 run, the actor
completed several independent films including 2000's "Playing Mona Lisa". Most
recently he returned to series television with successful turns as a co-starring
character on "Crossing Jordan" as Dr. Pete Winslow on NBC and as police officer and
husband to one of the charmed ones, Henry Mitchell on the WB's "Charmed" .
