He was born and raised in San Diego. His family had a direct connection to the theater. His father was the director of the prestigious Palomar College, his mother performed in the local theater. Actresses were two sisters Dana – Taylor Ashbrook and Daphne Ashbrook. His younger brother also showed artistic abilities since childhood. In addition, Dana had a bright appearance and indomitable temperament. All this helped him to take a powerful career start. A short string of supporting roles in passing films and TV series was a preparation for a breakthrough. And in 1990, after the release of the pilot of a very strange series.
Twin Peaks Dana Ashbrook is famous. His Bobby Briggs caught the imagination of the audience. And the film itself, in which the series searched for and did not find the answer to the question “Who killed Laura Palmer?”, had a strange magical appeal. The cast had an incredible number of very beautiful men and women. But, oddly enough, none of them became a movie star. Unless the names are still on the table.
Something similar happened to Ashbrook. After Twin Peaks, he was not offered any significant roles. For example, the popularity of the series “Crisis Center”, where he played one of the main characters, was enough for only one season in 1997. A little more successful was the series “Dawson’s Bay”, but he played a happy role in the creative fate of actress Katie Holmes. Of the notable works of Dana Ashbrook can be noted participation in the TV show “Clash”. It was a kind of variation on the theme of ethnic conflicts in America. And then a series of uninteresting secondary roles. The filmography of the actor, however, looks impressive - about fifty paintings.
Dana Ashbrook, who is already in his forties, has not yet got a family. He devotes his free time to basketball and tennis. He's an avid traveler and music lover.
