[edit] Biography
Terry's debut role was as the title character in the 1980 fantasy film Hawk the Slayer. After appearing in several small films through the 80s, his career took a major upswing in 1987 as he was assigned the roles of Lieutenant Lockhart in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket and Felix Leiter in the James Bond film The Living Daylights.
After these two well-known roles, Terry disappeared from the public eye, taking mostly small, non-notable parts during the 1990s. Some of the films he appeared during the time were Passion (with Janeane Garofalo), and A Change of Heart (with Jean Smart). In 2005, he appeared on the film Crazylove which also featured Reiko Aylesworth, JoBeth Williams, and Paul Schulze, and in 2007, he appeared in the critically acclaimed film Zodiac directed by David Fincher. The film also featured John Lacy, Zach Grenier, and Paul Schulze. More recently, he starred on Surfer, Dude with Jeffrey Nordling.
On television, Terry debuted in 1978 on an episode of "Soap". After that, he's had roles on a few series like "Philip Marlowe, Private Eye" (with Powers Boothe) and "Dempsey & Makepeace". In the 90s, he had the lead role on the show "Againts the Grain" which also featured Michael Cudlitz, but the show was canceled after one season. After that, he had a recurring role on "ER" playing Dr. David Cvetic. During his tenure at the show, he worked with Tobin Bell and Ping Wu.
In 2002, he accepted the role of Bob Warner on 24 appearing on 12 episodes. After that, he had a brief stint on NBC's "Las Vegas". The following year he was again cast as a father on ABC's "Lost" as the sire of the show's main character Jack, who has the not-too-subtle moniker Christian Shepherd. The critically acclaimed show also features other 24 actors like Alan Dale, Henry Ian Cusick, and Daniel Dae Kim, among many others. His role has lasted through the five seasons of the show and will probably be seen again on the sixth and final season.
