Bio
Roark Critchlow is keeping busy playing Tom Marin on ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars while also filming the MOW Cupid Inc. with Joely Fisher and having just returned from Bulgaria where he played in Syfy Channel's Vampyre Nation. After two seasons as FBI Director Paul Kendrick on ABC’s V, he will next be seen trying to save a portion of humanity in the Syfy production, Earth’s Final Hours, due to air this summer. He guest-starred in the season premiere of NCIS which turned out to be the show’s highest rated episode to date and even reprised his role of “Dr. Mike Horton” on Days of Our Lives for a 3-episode visit.
Roark arrived in Los Angeles from Canada in 1992 ( he has dual citizenship) and one year later was cast as “Mike Horton” on NBC’s Days of Our Lives. After 6 years of playing the sensitive hunk, he chose to move on and pursue roles in film and primetime. From having a dual personality in The Mentalist to playing Starbuck’s tormented father on Battlestar Gallactica, Roark delivers compelling and inspired performances. He has also worked with Adam Sandler on Mr. Deeds, Joe Mantegna in HBO’s Comrades of Summer, Gwyneth Paltrow in The View From Here and appeared in no less than 5 SyFy movies. The younger generation knows Roark as the grumpy “Dr. Glazer” on Nickelodeons Drake and Josh while he keeps his romantic chops up in MOW’s like Panic Button, Mending Fences and Shark Swarm on Hallmark and Lifetime. A master of accents, Roark has played roles as Russian, German and British characters.
An established voiceover artist with 8 television and radio campaigns to his credit, he also voiced the lead character “Joel Shoemaker” in 120 episodes of Afterworld, Sony’s critically acclaimed sci fi animated internet series.
