Actor / Producer / Director

Ricky Schroder debuted in the 1979 remake of the movie The Champ, winning the Golden Globe Award for Best New Male Star of the Year in a Motion Picture at the age of nine. In the following year, he made a Walt Disney feature film called The Last Flight of Noah's Ark with Elliott Gould. He became well-known as the star of the television series Silver Spoons.
Schroder's co-starring role in the Western mini-series Lonesome Dove and its sequel, Return to Lonesome Dove, helped his transition as an adult actor. Schroder acted in NYPD Blue for three years and then Strong Medicine, whose cast he joined for a two-year contract starting in 2005, and appeared in several films. Schroder also appeared in several episodes of the second season of the comedy series Scrubs as nurse Paul Flowers. In 2004, Schroder directed and starred in the music video for "Whiskey Lullaby", a song by Brad Paisley. This music video won an award. Starting in 2007, Schroder has become a recurring character on the hit FOX show 24 as CTU agent Mike Doyle.
