Leland Orser was born on September 10, 1960 in San Francisco, California. He graduated from Connecticut College with an art history degree. In addition to the United States, he has also spent time living in Europe, where he trained at the London Drama School. While studying there, he eloped to Rome with fellow student Roma Downey. They divorced two years later. Though at one point Leland attempted to pursue "traditional" jobs, he eventually (and luckily for us) chose acting. In October 2000 he married his Very Bad Things costar Jeanne Tripplehorn. Their son August Tripplehorn Orser was born in Los Angeles in 2002. At the 7th Annual Helen Hayes Awards in 1991, Leland was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor - Resident Production for his role in The Secret Rapture.
