Michael Hayden

The boyishly handsome Hayden earned rave reviews in 1993 headlining the London revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Carousel." The following year, he repeated the role of Billy Bigelow in the Lincoln Center version of Nicholas Hytner's production. The stage-trained actor made his first TV appearance as Richard Crenna's crippled grandson romanced by a lower-class woman (Laura Leighton) in the telefilm "In the Name of Love: A Texas Tragedy" (Fox, 1995). Hayden went on to appear as ambitious attorney Chris Docknovich in the courtroom series "Murder One" (ABC, 1995-97).
