If you watched the season finale of Covert Affairs last night – as I instructed you to do! – then you are already familiar with the impossibly handsome actor who plays Ben Mercer on the show.

He’s 34-year-old actor Eion Bailey who was one of the stars of the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers and also had roles in the films Fight Club, Center Stage, Mind Hunters, Almost Famous and Sexual Life.

One of his early breaks was as one of the leads in the short-lived TV series Significant Others in 1998 which also starred a then-unknown Jennifer Garner, Elizabeth Mitchell and Michael Weatherly.

He also had recurring roles on ER and Dawson’s Creek and done guest spots on Cold Case, House Rules, CSI: NY, Without a Trace and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

He grew up in the Santa Ynez Valley of California where his father owned a small airline service which flew people around the state.

The young Eion tagged along on flights and his father gave him flying lessons after dropping off passengers. His first lesson was at the age of twelve.

He struggled in school until he found his calling in his high school drama department. He then went on to study formally at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City.

In 2007, Eion won something that took Susan Lucci 19 times to achieve: he won a Daytime Emmy! The award was for his performance in the television movie Life of the Party.
