The Cast of Six Feet Under... Where Are They Now?

So I just finished Episode 3 of Season 3. I love this show so much, seriously. I've learned a lot about myself because of it. Anyway, thought I'd sift through the web - specifically iMDB, Wikipedia and Google - to find out where some of the cast are now.


Peter Krause

Peter William Krause (born August 12, 1965) is an American film and television actor and film producer. He is perhaps best known for his lead roles as Nate Fisher on the HBO drama Six Feet Under and Nick George on the ABC dramedy Dirty Sexy Money alongside Donald Sutherland. After Sports Night and Six Feet Under, it is the third show for which Krause has received star billing that his character has had a wife or ex-wife by the name of Lisa. The show was canceled in 2008.

Peter Krause is currently living in Los Angeles. He has two siblings, Michael Krause and Amy Krause. He has a son named Roman who was born in November 2001.



Frances Conroy

In 1992, Conroy became friends with playwright Arthur Miller, which led to her involvement in many of his productions on both stage and screen. During this period, she also appeared on television shows, miniseries, and made-for-TV movies, and met and married fellow actor Jan Munroe.

Conroy is best known for her critically acclaimed work on HBO's original drama series Six Feet Under playing family matriarch Ruth Fisher. For her work on the series, Conroy was nominated for four Emmy Awards (one for every year she was eligible) and won a Golden Globe and three Screen Actors Guild Awards.



Michael C Hall

Michael Carlisle Hall (born February 1, 1971) is an American actor whose television roles include David Fisher in the HBO drama series Six Feet Under and Dexter Morgan in the still running Showtime series Dexter.



Lauren Ambrose

Lauren Ambrose (born February 20, 1978) is an American film and television actress best known for portraying the character Claire Fisher on the HBO drama Six Feet Under. (Does anyone else remember her from “Can’t Hardly Wait” where she played Seth Green’s love interest!?!?!!)

Ambrose was born Lauren Anne D'Ambruoso in New Haven, Connecticut. She is a trained opera singer who studied voice and opera at the Boston University of Tanglewood Institute. Ambrose has been married to professional photographer Sam Handel of Needham, MA since September 2001. The couple have a son, Orson Handel (b. January 16, 2007) and currently live in Stockbridge, MA.



Mathew St. Patrick

Mathew St. Patrick (born March 17, 1968) is an American actor. He has starred as Adrian Sword in the television soap opera All My Children (1998–2000), starred (2001–2005) as Keith Charles on HBO drama Six Feet Under, was the first voice of Skulker (2004) on Danny Phantom and starred as the principal detective in the Fox fall drama, Reunion (2005). St. Patrick played Seth in the 2008 science fiction horror film Alien Raiders.

He recently played the part of an FBI agent in the film War. He recently appeared on the Eminem album Relapse (album) in the skit "Mr. Mathers".



Rachel Griffiths

Griffiths and Toni Collette were relative unknowns when they were cast as best friends and fellow outcasts in the 1994 film Muriel's Wedding. Her performance won her critical acclaim and both the Australian Film Critics Award and the Australian Film Institute Awards for Best Supporting Actress. She followed this triumph in 1996 with the role of an earthy, ill-mannered pig farmer's daughter in Michael Winterbottom's Jude.

In 1997, Griffiths sparked a controversy after attending the opening of the Crown Casino topless and uninvited, her stated reasoning being the protest of the views taken by the media and state government towards the new casino, and inspired by the story of Lady Godiva.

Griffiths joined forces again with Muriel's Wedding director P. J. Hogan for her American film debut, My Best Friend's Wedding, in 1997. That same year she starred in My Son the Fanatic, a British film in which she portrayed a tough Yorkshire prostitute who becomes involved with a considerably older Pakistani taxicab driver, played by Om Puri.

Griffiths received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of real-life flautist Hilary du Pré opposite Emily Watson as her sister, famed cellist Jacqueline "Jackie" du Pre, in Hilary and Jackie (1998). She then appeared in 2001's Blow, opposite Johnny Depp and Ray Liotta.

In 2001, Griffiths was cast as one of the leads in Six Feet Under. Her performance as emotionally scarred massage therapist Brenda Chenowith earned her Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards, as well as two Emmy Award nominations.

As of 2006, she became part of the ensemble cast, co-starring alongside Sally Field, Calista Flockhart, Balthazar Getty and Matthew Rhys, of the dramatic series Brothers & Sisters, in which she portrays Sarah Walker , who inherits control of the family business after her father's death. Griffiths received a 2007 Emmy nomination and a 2008 Emmy nomination for her work on the series. Griffiths received 2008 and 2009 Golden Globe nominations for her work on Brothers & Sisters.
