Jonathan Adams (born July 16, 1967) is an American actor. He is best known for playing Henry Walker on American Dreams , Daniel Goodman on Bones and Chuck Larabee on Last Man Standing . He is also known as a voice actor with roles such as Galactus, Dormammu and Kang the Conqueror from Marvel Comics and Darkseid and Atrocitus from DC Comics.
Adams was born on July 16, 1967, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, [1] and grew up in Wilkinsburg. He graduated from Wilkinsburg High School in 1985 and studied acting at Carnegie Mellon University for a year and a half before having to drop out because he could no longer afford tuition. [2]
He has appeared in several roles on American television, including American Dreams on NBC, where he played series regular Henry Walker (2002–05). He portrayed Dr. Daniel Goodman in the first season of the Fox television series Bones . At the start of season 2, his character appointed Dr. Camille Saroyan (Tamara Taylor) to be the Jeffersonian's first head of forensics (the immediate boss of Temperance Brennan). Although he was supposed to have left on a short sabbatical, his character did not return. The show's creator, Hart Hanson, stated that Taylor's role was a better fit with the rest of the characters in the series. [3] He later appeared in the short-lived ABC crime drama Women's Murder Club .
