Anthony Charles Edwards is an actor who guest-starred on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order True Crime.
He is mostly known for his role as Dr. Mark Greene on ER (with Yvonne Zima, Hallee Hirsh, Mariska Hargitay, Julianna Margulies, Kellie Martin, Eriq La Salle, Gloria Reuben, Maura Tierney and Paul McCrane).
He appears in the hit-comedy film Revenge of the Nerds with Curtis Armstrong, playing the main role of Gilbert Lowell, a sensitive and well-meaning nerd, Lewis' (played by Robert Carradine) best friend and, later, president of the Tri-Lambs. He reprised the role of Gilbert for a few brief scenes in the sequel Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise (1987), with his character unable to join the rest of the nerds because of a broken leg.
It was Edwards' role as LTJG Nick "Goose" Bradshaw alongside Tom Cruise in the 1986 film Top Gun (with Tom Skerritt) that brought his first widespread public acknowledgment. His character, who died in an aviation accident, was among the most prominent and popular in the film.
He also starred in the film Thunderbirds (with Brady Corbet and Philip Winchester). In 2018, Edwards was cast in the recurring role in the third season of Netflix's Designated Survivor as Mars Harper, the President's Chief of Staff.
From 1994 to 2015, Edwards was married to Jeanine Lobell with whom he had one son and three daughters. Since the end of 2021, he married Mare Winningham, whom he dated in 2020 and who also appears in ER and the SVU episode Manic as Sandra Blaine, and whom he's known for nearly forty years.
