Born in North Hollywood, California, on September 7, 1954, Corbin Bernsen grew up with parents involved in the entertainment industry, including film and television producer Harry Bernsen and veteran actress Jeanne Cooper. He attended UCLA, earning a BFA in Theatre Arts and an MFA in Playwriting. His early career included work as a carpenter in New York City before he landed a role as Ken Graham on ‘Ryan’s Hope’ in 1983. This led to an exclusive deal with NBC and, ultimately, his breakthrough role as the opportunistic divorce lawyer Arnie Becker in the seminal television series ‘L.A. Law’. The show ran for eight years and earned him multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, establishing his presence in Hollywood.
Following his success on ‘L.A. Law’, Bernsen diversified his acting portfolio, taking on a range of roles in film and television. Notable film appearances include co-starring as Shelley Long’s husband in ‘Hello Again’ (1987), playing an egotistical actor in ‘Bert Rigby, You’re a Fool’ (1989), and portraying the disorganized ringleader in ‘Disorganized Crime’ (1989). He also starred as ballplayer-turned-owner Roger Dorn in the hit movie ‘Major League’ (1989) and its two sequels. On television, he appeared in various movies of the week, such as ‘Line of Fire: The Morris Dees Story’, and gained a cult following for his title role as the crazed dentist Dr. Alan Feinstone in the horror film ‘The Dentist’ (1996), which also had a sequel where he served as a producer.
More recently, Bernsen spent eight seasons on USA Network’s ‘Psych’ as Henry Spencer, the retired police father of the main character. In 2006, he founded his own production company, Team Cherokee Productions, which later evolved into Home Theater Films, focusing on the Faith and Family film genre. Through this venture, he has written, directed, and produced several films, including ‘Rust’ (2010), ’25 Hill’ (2011), ‘Beyond the Heavens’ (2013), and ‘Christian Mingle’ (2014). He is also the author of a novel, ‘Rust: the Novel’, and co-authored two books on home renovation with his wife, Amanda Pays, with whom he has four sons.
