Early life

[edit]

Annable attended Valley Central High School and graduated in 1997. He attended college at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh (SUNY Plattsburgh). There, he became involved with the student-run TV station, Plattsburgh State Television (PSTV), working both on production behind the scenes and on the air as well. He hosted many shows at PSTV, including Late Night with Dave Annable, Cardinal Sports, and The Roommate Game. Annable credits Plattsburgh State Television for preparing him for his successful career in television. Annable dropped out of college in 2003 to pursue his acting career.[3]

After leaving SUNY Plattsburgh, Annable studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York with Richard Pinter.

In 2004, Annable appeared in the films Little Black Book and Spellbound. In September 2005, Annable began appearing as Aaron Lewis on the Fox drama series Reunion, which centers on six friends who attend their 20th high school reunion, where one of them is murdered and all of them are suspects. In December, Fox cancelled the series due to low ratings shortly after the ninth episode aired.[5] The WB reportedly showed interest in picking up the series on their network, but these plans never materialized.[6]

In 2006, Annable was cast as Justin Walker on the ABC drama series Brothers & Sisters alongside Calista Flockhart, Rachel Griffiths, and Sally Field, which was picked up for a full season by the network.[7][8] In 2007, Annable was ranked as #7 on People magazine's annual list of Sexiest Men Alive.[9] In 2008, Annable won a Prism Award for Best Performance in a Drama Series Multi-Episode Storyline for his portrayal on Brothers & Sisters.

In 2014, Annable starred on the Fox series Red Band Society, where he played the role of pediatric oncologist and surgeon Dr. Adam McAndrew.[16] In 2016, he appeared as Pierce Harris on the NBC medical drama Heartbeat alongside Melissa George and Don Hany.[17][18] Both series were also cancelled after one season.

In 2016, he landed recurring role as Teddy Grant on Fox's comedy series The Mick alongside Kaitlin Olson.[19] On April 5, 2016, it was announced that Annable joined the WWE Studio action film Armed Response alongside Wesley Snipes and Anne Heche.[20] The movie was released in theaters on August 4, 2017. He also starred as author Joe McGinniss in Jeffrey MacDonald true crime murder movie Final Vision on Investigation Discovery.[21]

On August 3, 2017, Annable was cast as Lee Dutton, a cowboy, who serves as his father's (Kevin Costner) right-hand man in running the ranch, in the pilot episode of Paramount Network's period drama Yellowstone.[22] He starred as Billy opposite his real life wife Odette Annable in a Freeform holiday movie No Sleep 'Til Christmas.[23] In 2019, Annable played the role of Dr. Ian Harris in Netflix's social thriller What/If .[24] In 2020, he guest starred as Kirby in an episode of NBC drama series This Is Us.[25]

Personal life

Annable had a relationship with his Brothers & Sisters co-star Emily VanCamp beginning in 2007. He married Odette Yustman on October 10, 2010, who was also a love interest of Annable's character on the final season of Brothers & Sisters.[26] They have two daughters.[27][28] In October 2019, the couple announced their separation, but announced their reconciliation in August 2020.[29][30]

Five years after dropping out of college, Annable earned his diploma from SUNY Plattsburgh on May 16, 2009.
