Rod Brogan began modeling and acting at 8 years old, when a photographer selected him for a Kosta Boda Crystal ad while touring Brogan's New York City grammar school. From there Brogan went on to star as series' regular Chip Russell in the first season of the CBS sitcom "Major Dad" and as bad guy Tripp Tucker on the ABC soap opera "One Life to Live" while attending New York's Stuyvesant High School. Appearances on New York-based television shows followed, including "Oz" and "Law & Order." In 2004, Brogan graduated from the USD/Old Globe Theatre MFA Program in Dramatic Arts, having worked with such theatre directors as Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien, Mark Lamos, and Darko Tresnjak. He now splits his time between New York City and Los Angeles. Show less «
