Book Craig T. Nelson
Craig T. Nelson is the American actor whose commanding presence has made him a familiar face in film and television for decades. He is best known as Hayden Fox, the gruff but lovable college football coach at the center of the ABC sitcom Coach, a role that earned him the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series in 1992. On the big screen he played the father Steve Freeling in the horror classic Poltergeist (1982) and its sequel, and appeared in Stir Crazy (1980), All the Right Moves (1983), The Killing Fields (1984), Turner & Hooch (1989), Ghosts of Mississippi (1996) and The Devil's Advocate (1997). He later starred as Chief Jack Mannion in the CBS drama The District from 2000 to 2004 and brought comic timing to Blades of Glory (2007) and The Proposal (2009). Audiences also know him as the voice of Bob Parr, Mr. Incredible, in Pixar's The Incredibles (2004) and its sequel, and as family patriarch Zeek Braverman on NBC's Parenthood.
