Mark Ross Pellegrino (born April 9, 1965) is an American actor of film and television. He is best known for his work as Lucifer in Supernatural, Paul Bennett in Dexter, Jacob in Lost, Bishop in Being Human, and Deputy Bill Standall in 13 Reasons Why. He also recurred in the role of Clayton Haas in the ABC thriller Quantico.

Early life

An Italian-American, Pellegrino was born in Los Angeles, California.

Career

Pellegrino appeared in season 7, episode 3 of The X-Files in November 1999. In 2001, he played a hitman in David Lynch's critically acclaimed Mulholland Drive. Pellegrino starred as Rita's abusive ex-con former husband Paul on Showtime's Dexter; and later as Lucifer on Supernatural and as the mysterious near-immortal Jacob on ABC's Lost. He has appeared on the television series Northern Exposure, ER, Without a Trace, NYPD Blue, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and Knight Rider.

He played the "Blond Thug" who stuffs The Dude's head down the toilet and drops his bowling ball, breaking the floor tile, in the cult film The Big Lebowski. He was featured in National Treasure as the background FBI agent known as Agent Johnson. In 2005, Pellegrino appeared in the Academy Award winning film Capote, playing murderer Dick Hickock.

Among his numerous cable and network television show roles, he portrayed terrorist bomber Bobby James on The Beast.[1]

In March 2009, Pellegrino was cast on the ABC series Lost for an appearance in the final episode of Season 5, to play the role of the mysterious Jacob. Although the press release for the episode refers to his character simply as "Man No. 1", the episode revealed that Pellegrino portrayed Jacob, a mysterious character pivotal to the show's plot.[2]

On June 26, 2009, it was also announced that Pellegrino was cast in a recurring role as Lucifer in the fifth season of the CW series Supernatural. He played a recurring role in the seventh season, and a main role in seasons 12 and 13. He played a main role in season 14 as Nick, Lucifer's vessel, and was a special guest in season 15.

He portrayed the vampire "Bishop" in the SyFy horror series Being Human in the first season, and also reprises the role in season 2 and 3 as both flashbacks and hallucinations.[citation needed]

In 2015, Pellegrino joined the ABC thriller series Quantico playing the recurring role of FBI Deputy Director Clayton Haas.[3]

Pellegrino also was featured as a voice actor in the 2018 hit game Far Cry 5 as Jacob Seed, one of the antagonists of the game, as his first role in a video game.

In 2012 he played Daniel Drake in season two of Person of Interest.

Personal life

He is married to Tracy Pellegrino.[4]

He is an adherent of Objectivism, a philosophy created by Russian-American writer Ayn Rand.[citation needed] Though Pellegrino considers libertarianism to be the closest to his political views, he also considers it to be an anarchist political ideology. Thus, he has distanced himself from this ideology and described himself solely as an Objectivist, stating that he sees a place for government in society.[5][6][7][8] He has described his political views, instead, as classical liberalism,[9] and has also described himself as a radical capitalist.[6]

Pellegrino is an atheist.[10]

Pellegrino is a co-founder of The American Capitalist Party.[11]
