Hamish Linklater (born July 7, 1976) is an American actor, known for playing Matthew Kimble in The New Adventures of Old Christine and Andrew Keanelly in The Crazy Ones. He is the son of dramatic vocal trainer Kristin Linklater.
Linklater was born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, the son of Kristin Linklater and James Lincoln Cormeny. His mother is a Scottish-born Professor of Theatre and Chair of the Acting Division at Columbia University and a teacher of vocal technique. A single mother, she raised her son partly in the Berkshires, where she was a founder of the Shakespeare & Company drama troupe. Her son was eight years old when he began doing small Shakespearean roles.
His maternal grandparents were Marjorie (née MacIntyre) and Eric Linklater, who was a Scottish novelist of part Swedish origin and one of the founders of the Scottish National Party. His uncles are journalist Magnus Linklater and writer Andro Linklater.
Linklater graduated in 1994 from Commonwealth School in Boston and attended Amherst College.
While first establishing himself on the stage, he made his big-screen debut in 2000's Groove. That was followed by his role as CNN correspondent Richard Roth in the HBO movie Live from Baghdad. He has since appeared in numerous movies, including Fantastic Four (2005). He had a recurring role on the television show American Dreams as well as Gideon's Crossing. He was second-in-line to play Logan on Dark Angel, but the role went to Michael Weatherly.
