Hamish Linklater
Hamish Linklater (born July 7, 1976) is an American actor and playwright. He is known for playing Matthew Kimble in The New Adventures of Old Christine (2006–2010), Andrew Keanelly in The Crazy Ones (2013–2014), and Clark Debussy in Legion (2017–2019). He is the son of dramatic vocal trainer Kristin Linklater.
In 2021, he starred as Father Paul in the horror miniseries Midnight Mass, for which he received high critical acclaim. He voices Bruce Wayne/Batman in the animated series Batman: Caped Crusader.
Linklater was born in New York City, New York. His mother, Kristin Linklater, was a Scottish-born Professor of Theatre and Chair of the Acting Division at Columbia University and a teacher of vocal technique while his father, James Lincoln Cormeny, was an actor and stage builder. Linklater's single mother raised him partly in the Berkshires, where she was a founder of the Shakespeare & Company drama troupe. Linklater was eight years old when he began doing small Shakespearean roles.
His maternal grandparents were Marjorie Linklater, an arts campaigner, and Eric Linklater, who was a Scottish novelist of partly Swedish origin. His uncles are journalist Magnus Linklater and writer Andro Linklater.
Linklater graduated in 1994 from Commonwealth School in Boston and attended Amherst College.
Given his pedigree in the theater, he first established himself on the stage and made his big-screen debut in 2000's Groove. That was followed by his role as CNN correspondent Richard Roth in the HBO film Live from Baghdad. He has since appeared in numerous films, including Fantastic Four (2005). He had a recurring role on the television show American Dreams as well as Gideon's Crossing. He was second-in-line to play Logan on Dark Angel, but the role went to Michael Weatherly.
From 2006 until 2010 he was a main cast member in the CBS sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine, as the brother of Christine Campbell, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. In July 2006, Linklater appeared in Keith Bunin's The Busy World Is Hushed opposite Jill Clayburgh off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons. He played the title character in Hamlet at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa, California and the Long Wharf Theater in New Haven, Connecticut.
On Halloween 2007, Linklater appeared in an episode of Pushing Daisies on ABC, titled "Girth". He also completed the film The Violent Kind. He appeared in The Public Theater's 2009 production of Twelfth Night at Shakespeare in the Park as Sir Andrew Aguecheek, opposite Anne Hathaway, Audra McDonald and Raul Esparza.
