Ron Livingston (born June 5, 1968) is an American film and television actor. He is perhaps best known for his lead role as a disaffected corporate employee in the cult classic Office Space. More recently, he played Jack Berger, Carrie's boyfriend in the fifth and sixth seasons of Sex and the City.
He was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. His mother is a Lutheran minister and his father is an aerospace engineer.
Livingston attended Yale University where he received a B.A. degree in Theatre Studies and English Literature. The young actor soon relocated to Chicago and became involved in the city's thriving theater scene. His first film role was in 1992, in Dolly Parton's Straight Talk. Following a move to Los Angeles, Livingston took on supporting roles in Some Call It a Sling Blade and The Low Life, Livingston landed his first role in a major film, 1996's Swingers. Going beyond nice guy roles, Livingston decorated his filmography with memorable supporting parts such as a shark-like Hollywood agent in Adaptation (2002) (which is loosely based on screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's agent), a weasally Ivy League upstart to Alec Baldwin's casino boss in The Cooler (2003) and an unfortunate English teacher in Pretty Persuasion (2005).
Livingston is currently engaged to actress Lisa Sheridan. His younger brother, John Livingston, is also an actor.
