Biography

After several appearances on stage, including traditional Shakespeare, Browder garnered a few minor appearances in feature films, including a small part as a rookie captain in Memphis Belle (1990) and the role of a short-lived boyfriend in Kiss Before Dying, A (1991), with Sean Young and Matt Dillon. He was first widely exposed to the American and Canadian television viewing audience as the recurring character of "Sam" on the series "Party of Five" (1994). In 1999, Jim Henson productions teamed with the SciFi channel to produce "Farscape" (1999), where Browder was cast to play the main character, American astronaut John Crichton. Browder's family owns and operates a NASCAR Busch series race car, driven by his brother Neil Browder. He counts Diet Mountain Dew, Clark Bars, and Crisco among the comforts of home most missed while living abroad. IMDb mini-biography by Saska
