- Kurt Fuller
Kurt Fuller stars as Dr. Boggs on CBS’ series EVIL, which returns for a second season this June on Paramount+. Dr. Boggs is the therapist and confidant to the series’ skeptical psychologist, Kristen Bouchard. The story follows investigations of the Church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries, including supposed miracles, demonic possessions and other extraordinary occurrences.
Fuller has an extensive body of work as an actor, moving effortlessly between comedy and drama and between film and television, appearing in over a hundred films and over 300 episodes of television. He was fortunate to launch his career with the movies “Ghostbusters II” and “Wayne’s World,” which led him to a role in “Anger Management” with Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler, and the opportunity to be part of the all-star cast of Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris.” Others may know him best as the wacky sheriff who likes to pose in his speedos in “Scary Movie,” or his starring role as the beloved coroner, Woody, in the long-running television series “Psych.”
Fuller has worked with some of Hollywood’s best directors, including David O. Russell, Tony Scott, Brian DePalma, Peter Segal, Harold Ramis, and Ivan Reitman, among others. His additional film credits include “The Bonfire of Vanities,” “Auto Focus,” “Ray,” “Pushing Tin,” “The Jack Bull,” “Mr. Woodcock,” “Nailed,” “The Pursuit of Happyness” alongside Will Smith, and “Red Heat” alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Among his additional television credits are recurring roles on CBS’ “The Good Wife,” “The Good Fight” on CBS ALL ACCESS, “Parenthood,” “Scandal,” “Supernatural” on The CW, “Desperate Housewives,” “Boston Legal,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and “Alias.” He has guest-starred on popular series such as “Ugly Betty,” “Men of a Certain Age,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “House,” “My Name Is Earl,” “Monk,” and “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” on the Network.
Born in San Francisco and raised in the agricultural heartland of California’s San Joaquin Valley, Fuller became passionate about acting while attending UC Berkeley, where he received a degree in English literature.
He is married to author Jessica Hendra. They have two daughters, Julia and Charlotte. His birthday is Sept. 16. Follow him on Twitter @TheRealKurtFuller.
