Enrico Colantoni

Enrico Colantoni has been drawing raves in the CBS/CTV hit series FLASHPOINT, playing the lead officer in charge of a group of elite cops, garnering a Best Actor Gemini Award for his role. The role is indeed a stretch for Colantoni who has come from portraying the womanizing fashion photographer on NBC’s JUST SHOOT ME, America’s favorite dad on the CW’s cult classic VERONICA MARS and as everyone’s favorite loveable alien in the sci-fi flick Galaxy Quest, with Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver.

On the big screen, he figured prominently in the black comedy My Mom’s New Boyfriend, with Meg Ryan and Antonio Banderas. Plus, he starred as Celine Dion’s husband/manager, René Angelil, in the TV biopic Celine and in the Golden Globewinning TV movie James Dean as Elia Kazan. Among his vast array of credits on the big screen are Full Frontal, The First $20 Million is the Hardest, and Money Train; and on the tube are HOPE & GLORIA, NYPD BLUE, NEW YORK UNDERCOVER and LAW & ORDER.

Colantoni’s love for acting began innocently enough with a drama class at the University of Toronto. Later after graduating from the Yale School of Drama, the Toronto native (who now splits his time between L.A. and Toronto) went on to dazzle on stage and hasn’t looked back. Colantoni remains loyal to his Canadian and Italian roots, is known to be a skilled Italian chef, and in his spare time teaches drama to Los Angeles youth at Inner City Arts.

Greg Parker


Parker is serious, sharp-minded and a talented people-reader. He knows how to reach out, how to talk to people at their level – whether it’s a schizophrenic off his meds, a hardened gang member or a troubled youth about to make a big mistake. But his uncanny people-reading skills were not enough to save his own family… Ten years ago, Parker’s unconditional passion for his work burned out his relationship with his wife, and he turned to heavy drinking and aggression that he couldn’t control. When she left, she took their young son Dean with her, and Parker hit rock bottom. The empathy, gentleness, insight and sobriety he embodies today are a testament to the extraordinary effort he put into recovery. He believes the best of people, because he’s living proof people can change.

This season, Parker is given a second chance when, after no contact for ten years, his son Dean shows up unexpectedly at the station… and is finally able to witness first-hand the man his father has become.
