Biography
Early life
Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Browder grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. He attended Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. Browder met his wife, actress Francesca Buller, while studying at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London.
Career
Browder appeared as a recurring guest on the U.S. television show,
Party of Five as Sam Brody in its 3rd season in 1997. Browder and Buller moved with their two children to
Australia during the production of
Farscape (1999–2002), on which Browder starred as brash American astronaut
John Crichton. Buller played several guest roles on the show. The two returned to the United States in 2003 following the cancellation of
Farscape. He has received two
Saturn Awards for Best Actor In A Television Role for his acting in
Farscape. He appeared in the 2004 movie,
A Killer Within, co-starring
C. Thomas Howell and
Sean Young. Also in 2004, he portrayed fellow actor
Lee Majors in the made-for-TV film
Behind the Camera: The Unauthorised Story of Charlie's Angels.
He returned to play John Crichton in the 2004 SciFi Channel mini-series, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars. The mini-series wrapped up the remaining plotlines of Farscape, while leaving open the possibility of future adventures.
November 2004 marked the audiobook release of Interlopers, a novel written by Alan Dean Foster and narrated by Browder.
In January 2005, Browder voiced the character Bartholomew Aloysius "Bat" Lash in an episode of the animated series Justice League Unlimited entitled "The Once and Future Thing, Part 1: Weird Western Tales".
Browder returned to the SciFi Channel as he joined the cast of
Stargate SG-1 for its 9th season in
2005. He plays the character of Lieutenant Colonel
Cameron Mitchell, the team's new commanding officer. Browder's former Farscape co-star
Claudia Black appeared on
SG-1 as well during the first episodes of the 9th season, and has now been signed on to once again co-star with Browder as a regular cast member on the series in its tenth season. Browder has preserved some of the character elements of his
Farscape persona in his new role (such as making witty pop-culture references), a tip of the hat, perhaps, to
Farscape fans who also watch
Stargate SG-1, but Cameron Mitchell is a distinct character, an experienced, professional military officer.
