Gabriel Macht Born in January 22, 1972 is an American actor. Macht is best known for playing The Spirit in the film of the same name.Though a preternaturally gifted actor by any standard, Gabriel Macht endured years of underutilization by Hollywood. He officially debuted as a child actor at the age of 8 with a small role in director Larry_Peerce's critically maligned, family-friendly romance Why_Would_I_Lie? (1980), but remained offscreen until his late twenties, when he reemerged as a film star with supporting roles in the romantic comedies The Adventures of Sebastian Cole (1998) and 101 Ways (The Things a Girl Will Do to Keep Her Volvo) (2000), and a regular turn as Mark Gabriel on television's psychological thriller series The_Others (2000). Macht then bided his time for several years in action yarns unworthy of his abilities, including Joel_Schumacher's Bad_Company (2002) and Roger_Donaldson's The_Recruit (2003). The course of Macht's career, however, changed with 2004's John_Travolta alcoholism drama A Love Song for Bobby Long, which afforded the thespian third billing after Travolta and Scarlett_Johansson. In it, Macht delivered a searing portrayal of Lawson Pines, an alcoholic writer in the American south. He followed it up with a key supporting role in Robert de Niro's critically acclaimed historical saga The_Good_Shepherd (2006), and tackled the lead in director Frank_Miller's The_Spirit (2008), a supernaturally charged action saga about a masked crime fighter.
