Fredric Lehne (also known as Fredric Lane) is an American character actor who is perhaps best known for his role as US Marshal Edward Mars in Lost and as Azazel in Supernatural.
Biography
Fredric Lehne was born in Buffalo, but a variety of circumstances and opportunities had his family relocating to different communities in the New York/New Jersey area during the years. For that reason he attended High School in the Fayetteville-Manlius school district in Manlius, NY, outside of Syracuse. It was in Syracuse where he and his family were involved with Salt City Playhouse (actual Salt City Center for the Performing Arts), his first meaningful contact with the acting world.
Lehne has played in over 200 films, mini-series, and television shows as well as many stage productions including works by Shakespeare, Moliere and Ibsen on Broadway. He has appeared in many popular television shows and films often as the archetypal government agent/law enforcement official.
Other than the aforementioned role in Lost, his TV credits include Bones, Criminal Minds, Supernatural, Medium, Without a Trace, Night Stalker, Malcolm in the Middle, CSI & CSI: NY, JAG, Firefly, NCIS, Cold Case, Crossing Jordan, Touched by an Angel, X-Files, Chicago Hope, ER, Sliders, NYPD Blue, Babylon 5, Matlock, Wiseguy, Murder She Wrote, Dallas, Cagney & Lacey and Eight is Enough. In the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon Lehne played astronaut Walter Cunningham.
Lehne film credits include Men in Black, Con Air, Ordinary People and Being There.
Most recently (2006), Fred co-starred in the short film Reflections of a Life written, directed by and starring Kathi Carey. In addition to the numerous other awards the film has won, Fred received the award for Best Actor (Honorable Mention) at the Long Island Film Festival for his portrayal of Ms. Carey's love interest in the film, an unusual departure in the types of roles he usually plays.
Criminal Minds
Lehne portrayed Jack Vaughn, a former hitman and the father of a girl abducted by a pack of abductors and rapists, in the Season Three episode 3rd Life. He reprised the role in the Season Twelve episode Green Light.
