ACTING

Hal Sparks is an actor whose career spans network television, prestige cable, and the big screen. Best known as Michael Novotny on Showtime's groundbreaking Queer as Folk (2000–2005) — one of the first American series to portray gay relationships without apology — his five-season run helped define a generation of television.

On the big screen, Hal played Zoltan, the bubble-wrapped, alien-obsessed cult leader in the cult comedy classic Dude, Where's My Car?, and shared an elevator with Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2 — possibly the most iconic six seconds in Marvel film history.

For a generation of Disney XD kids, he is Donald Davenport — the eccentric billionaire inventor and father figure at the heart of Lab Rats and its spinoff Lab Rats: Elite Force. His range across drama, comedy, animation, and voice work reflects a career built on instinct, versatility, and refusal to be categorized.
