జీవిత చరిత్ర
Drew was born into a family of three generations of ministers in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). As an adolescent, he briefly considered a career in the ministry, but instead he found his spiritual home in the acting scene of his hometown Nashville, Tennessee. After training at Nashville Academy Theater, The Acting Studio, Northwestern University and British-American Drama Academy, he returned to Nashville for one season to star as Orlando in "As You Like It," the inaugural production of the Nashville Shakespeare Festival. He acted in L.A. for several years in the early 1990s, appearing on "The Young and the Restless" with a teenage Paul Walker, and performing "Golden Boy" at Pasadena Playhouse with an unknown Mark Ruffalo.
Drew took a long hiatus from acting, earned his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature, and taught Classics at Brooklyn College and English Literature at West Point. But his first career, acting, eventually pulled him back. He has performed in hundreds of plays, films, TV shows, commercials, and music videos over the course of his career in NYC, Chicago, London, Nashville and Los Angeles.
Drew recurs as CIA Director Byron Gedney on Season 2 of "The Night Agent" on Netflix. Other notable TV credits include "American Horror Stories," "Elsbeth," "Law & Order," "Étoile," "FBI: Most Wanted," "Griselda," "White House Plumbers," "Law & Order: Organized Crime," "Godfather of Harlem," "Zero Day," "General Hospital," and "Power Book III: Raising Kanan."
Notable film credits include "I Think I'm Sick," for which Garden State Film Festival nominated Drew for Best Supporting Actor in a Feature; "Signs of Love" with Rosanna Arquette and Hopper Penn; and "The Shed" with Frank Whaley and Timothy Bottoms.
