David Eigenberg

David Eigenberg plays Steve Brady, a quintessential New York bartender-owner whom Cynthia Nixon's independent, relationship weary Miranda can't seem to live with or without. When Eigenberg came in to audition for Sex and the City, the producers determined right away that he would be perfect for Miranda. The part of Steve was actually written with David in mind.

Before making an impression with Sex and the City audiences, Eigenberg received attention for his chilling performance as shooter Alex Robbey on Homicide: Life on the Street. He next played on the opposite side of the interrogation table in a recurring role as District Attorney Harvey Welk in The Practice. Eigenberg has also appeared as a series regular in The Beat, with Mark Ruffalo, Lea DeLaria and Celeste Holm - Oz creators Tom Fontana and Barry Levinson were executive producers. The actor also performed in the role of Nick Delvecchio in the Jerry Bruckheimer produced series Soldier of Fortune, Inc. - Special Ops Forces also featuring Dennis Rodman. More recently he has also had a recurring role on the dramatic series Ed.

A member of the Ensemble Studio Theater in New York City, Eigenberg has performed in numerous Off-Broadway plays. On Broadway he received his break in 1990 playing a hustler in John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation. Currently he is starring in the Richard Greenberg's "Take Me Out" on Broadway.

His film credits include A Perfect Murder, Daybreak and Rude Awakening and the science fiction thriller The Mothman Prophecies, with Richard Gere and Laura Linney.
