Colin Ferguson, actor/director/producer, stars as Federal Marshal Jack Carter in the highly acclaimed SyFy-hit dramedy "Eureka," which has been called a cross between “Northern Exposure” and "Desperate Housewives." The show debuted as the highest rated premiere in the channel’s history. The New York Daily News raved about his performance, “Ferguson's approach is fluid and funny enough to make it all work.

Ferguson enjoys working on the cable series because of the hybrid tone of drama mixed with quirky comedic elements. The fourth season has premiered this July.

Colin's feature-film credits also include "Because I Said So", "Rowing Through," and "The Opposite of Sex" among others. He was a regular on the NBC remake of the hit British comedy series "Coupling" and the sitcom "Then Came You." ?His many guest-starring roles include "Line of Fire", "Malcolm in the Middle", "Crossing Jordan", "Becker” and "Titus."?Additionally, Colin has starred in other television movies such as "Mom at 16", "We Were the Mulvaneys", "Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber", "Ladies Night", "More Tales of the City", "Playing House" and "Christmas in Paradise".

Colin is a producer on Eureka and has directed the "fan favorite" episodes "Your Face or Mine" and "The Story of O2". ??He has repeatedly been tapped by SyFy to bring a more human and character- based element to their intense visual-effects style. It is the marriage of Second City's character-based approach to scene work and television's economic plot movement that defines his style and approach.

“I like a story that moves. I like a story that’s driven by a situation created by the reality of it's characters.... and as for comedy I'm just contrary - I like the comedy in my drama and the drama in my comedy."
