David Butcher casts an eye over the Australian actor's credits.
"It's a face that's easy to recognise but harder to
place.
Do you know Anthony LaPaglia from
indie movie Lantana,
where he played a cop
with a midlife crisis? Or perhaps the wary gaze
and set jaw are familiar from his
TV stint in Murder
One? Or maybe you've seen his
comic turn in Frasier
as Daphne's boozy brother?
Whichever it is,
you'll be seeing a lot more of
him from now on,
since his performance as the
inscrutable chief of the FBI's missing persons unit
in Without a
Trace
has taken the States by storm,
earning LaPaglia a Golden Globe this year.
He
dedicated the award to his baby daughter Bridget
- appropriately,
since it was partly for her
that the
Australian-born actor moved back into television.
"I didn't want to miss out on my daughter's life
by constantly flying off to make some movie,"
he says.
"I wanted to come home every day."
So has the new father found the abduction
storylines in his dark series distressing? Far from
it.
"The media creates this idea that the world is
crawling with these evil creatures who are just
waiting to snatch up your child.
In fact the chances
that your child will be abducted by a stranger
are practically nonexistent."
