As a self described movie addict, Ian Lyons knew he had to work in showbiz. After a stint behind the scenes as a production assistant on several TV shows ("Scrubs," "Party Of Five," "All That," "The Amanda Show," "Sabrina The Teenage Witch"...), Ian soon realized (cause those hours sucked) that he was better suited for the other side of the camera.

With his priority always on love and life, Ian savors those moments between jobs with his lovely wife of over 27 years, his two amazing sons, and of course his 2 dogs and 2 cats. He's the luckiest dude in the world.

After two open-heart surgeries, Ian's refurbished ticker is as passionate as ever and raring to go. He credits his most cherished on-set experiences to acting opposite David Hyde Pierce (as his twin) and Sarah Lancashire (as her bother-in-law) in HBO's sadly short-lived "Julia," and to his exhilarating confrontation opposite Robert Downey Jr. in "The Judge." He looks forward to the cherished on-set moments to come.

Keep an eye out for Ian in these exciting upcoming projects - "Shattered Ice," "TOX," "Imposters" and "Widow's Bay."

    • Trivia
      At Ian's callback audition for "Colin Mitchell" in CBS' Madam Secretary, casting director Mark Saks told Ian to perform his emotional role to executive producer (actor) Eric Stoltz - meaning Eric would be Colin's wife.. It was a stretch, but luckily Ian got the part.
    • Quotes
      The opportunity (the audition) is the cake. Anything beyond that is simply the icing (the callback, the booking, the paycheck, the residuals, the nomination, the award...). Needless to say, the more icing there is, the sweeter it is, but I'm more than willing to take my icingless cake and eat it too.
