Alan Cumming
Known for
Alan Cumming is a Scottish actor of flamboyant range who moves between Broadway, Hollywood and cabaret without apparent effort. He won a Tony as the Emcee in the 1998 revival of 'Cabaret', a performance still considered definitive. On film he was the hapless hacker Boris in 'GoldenEye' (1995), the teleporting Nightcrawler in 'X2' (2003) and the whimsical Fegan Floop in the 'Spy Kids' films (2001-2003). Television gave him the scheming strategist Eli Gold in 'The Good Wife' (2010-2016) and, later, hosting duties on the US 'The Traitors', for which he has won Emmys. Mischief is his natural key.
