Career

He may be best known for his role in 2003's S.W.A.T. , in which he played by-the-book LAPD Captain Tom Fuller, who went head to head with Samuel L. Jackson's character "Hondo". ^{[1] [2]}

Poindexter appeared in the ABC soap opera General Hospital as Asher Thomas. He played Asher from June 3, 2005, until August 8, 2005, when his character was shot and killed by Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) after he murdered A.J. Quartermaine (Billy Warlock) and Rachel Adair (Amy Grabow). His Asher Thomas character was controversial, as his backstory was a retcon of Jason and A.J.'s history.

He played a recurring character on season 3 of JAG , Dalton Lowne, the doomed lawyer/love interest of Major Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie (Catherine Bell), who falls prey to another man obsessed with Mac. He appeared in the soap operas Santa Barbara , Days of Our Lives , and was a frequent guest on the MTV show Just Say Julie . He appeared in Quantum Leap , How I Met Your Mother , and Friends . He was in Blade: The Series as FBI agent Ray Collins.

Poindexter was lead singer for the alternative country band The High Lonesome in the 1990s. Their album Feel Free To Do So was released in 1995. ^[3]

He was one of the producers of The Cher Show at the Neil Simon Theatre in 2018/19. ^[4]
