Career

Acting

After a two-year appearance on the soap opera Ryan's Hope , [1] Bernsen was cast as lawyer Arnold Becker on the Steven Bochco television series L.A. Law in 1986. [6] The series became a hit, and the role earned him Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, appearances on magazine covers, and guest-starring roles on Seinfeld and The Larry Sanders Show . [7] [8] [1] [9] He remained on L.A. Law for the entire run of the show, until it ended in 1994. He played the lead actor in the two-season, NASA-themed series The Cape in 1996–97.

Bernsen appeared with British actor Bruce Payne in the films Kounterfeit and Aurora: Operation Intercept . [10] [11] He starred as the title character, Dr. Alan Feinstone, in the horror film The Dentist and its sequel.

Bernsen was president and co-owner of Public Media Works, a new media company that develops entertainment for targeted fan bases. [17] He directed and starred in Carpool Guy, the company's first film; it was targeted at soap opera fans and released on DVD in 2005. [18]

Bernsen then went on to form Team Cherokee Productions. According to the book One Red Paperclip , in June 2006, Bernsen traded a role in the film Donna on Demand to Kyle MacDonald for a snow globe of the band KISS. It was this role that MacDonald eventually traded for a two-story farmhouse. [19]

In recent years, Bernsen focused on stories that explore aspects of Christian faith in today's world and how that can contribute to, but also tends to divide our common humanity. His first such film was Rust, released in 2010 by Sony Pictures. [20] Bernsen, along with producing partner Chris Aronoff, formed Home Theater Films, an independent production company that develops, produces, and markets films and television shows. [21] 25 Hill, the company's first title, was released in July 2012. [22] This was followed by 3 Day Test (2012), Beyond the Heavens (2013), and Life with Dog (2017). Their film Mary 4 Mayor was due out in the fall of 2020. [23]

Writing

In October 2015, the Pelican Book Group released Bernsen's debut novel. The book, Rust: the Novel, is an adaptation of Bernsen's 2010 feature film, Rust, in which he played the main character and served as writer and director. [24] Bernsen and his wife, Amanda Pays, have co-authored two books, Change Houses, Not Spouses and Open House: Reinventing Space for Simple Living, a coffee table book featuring remodeling and design ideas they have learned from remodeling their own homes. [25]

Personal life

Bernsen was married to Brenda Cooper from 1983 to 1987. [26] [27] [28] Bernsen has been married to British actress Amanda Pays since 1988. [29] They have four sons: Oliver, Angus, Henry and Finley. [30] [31] Pays and Bernsen moved to the Hudson Valley in upstate New York in 2019 where he now focuses on film and television projects that can be shot locally.

Bernsen has one of the largest snow globe collections in the world, with roughly over 8,000 globes. [32] One notable globe in his collection is a KISS motorized snow globe, that Kevin MacDonald traded him for in exchange for a speaking role in the film Donna on Demand. This was part of the famous One Red Paperclip series of trades, which saw MacDonald go from a red paperclip to eventually owning a farmhouse in Saskatchewan. [33]
