Born in Pittsburgh, raised in Chicago, and educated at Northwestern University, Sharif Atkins began his career in Chicago theatre, but he is best known for his successful five year stint playing the role of Michael Gallant on “ER”, which came to a dramatic end when his character was killed in the line of duty in Iraq.
Atkins next starred in the series “Hawaii”, created by Jeff Eastin. He then spent two seasons playing Gary Navarro, the hearer of thoughts on “The 4400” while recurring in a romantic arc with music, film and television star “Eve”, on her series by the same name. He has starred in independent films including “All Nighter”, “Paved with Good Intentions” and “Out of Exile”. Atkins was given his earliest break in the business by producer John Wells (“ER”, “The West Wing”) who cast him in his first leading role in a television movie entitled “The Big Time”.
