Biography
Filmography

Australian actor Alex O'Loughlin appeared in such features as Man-Thing, Feed, The Holiday, and The Invisible before breaking into stateside television with a bit part on the long-running small-screen crime drama The Shield; though he would ultimately be passed over for the role of James Bond, O'Loughlin eventually managed to regain his footing as a blood-sucking private detective in the supernatural CBS series Moonlight. Executive produced by The Matrix's Joel Silver (among others), Moonlight followed the nocturnal adventures of a vampiric sleuth who was transformed by bloodthirsty bride Coraline ( Shannyn Sossamon) in the 1950s, and falls for an female investigative reporter ( Sophia Myles) while attempting to solve crimes in the big city in the present day. In 2007, O'Loughlin found himself at the center of a strange Internet rumor that claimed he was the son of late- AC/DC frontman Bon Scott, a bizarre claim that seemed to take on a life of its own before the bemused actor himself laughingly dismissed it as false. - Jason Buchanan, Rovi
