Ted Levine, born on May 29, 1957, is an American actor whose career is defined by two indelible roles. His portrayal of Buffalo Bill in Jonathan Demme's "The Silence of the Lambs" etched him into horror and thriller history with a performance that transcended the character's chilling nature. Later, Levine found a comfortable niche as Captain Leland Stottlemeyer in the long-running series "Monk," where his dry wit and no-nonsense demeanor provided a counterpoint to the titular character's eccentricities, cementing his status as a reliable and versatile actor in both film and television.
