Career

Livingston's first film role was in 1992, in Dolly Parton's "Straight Talk". He moved to Los Angeles and was cast in supporting roles in "Some Folks Call it a Sling Blade" and "The Low Life". Livingston landed his first role in a major film in 1996's "Swingers". He played the male lead in "Office Space", which co-starred Jennifer Aniston and was written and directed by Mike Judge. He gave his first serious performance in HBO's "Band of Brothers" as Captain Lewis Nixon opposite Donnie Wahlberg and Damian Lewis. Going beyond nice-guy roles, Livingston played a Hollywood agent in "Adaptation" (2002); a weaselly Ivy League upstart to Alec Baldwin's casino boss in "The Cooler" (2003); and an unfortunate English teacher in "Pretty Persuasion" (2005). He also appeared as Jack Berger, Carrie's boyfriend in the sixth season of "Sex and the City", as well as in the episode "TB or Not TB" of "House".

Sprint Nextel announced on October 21, 2006, that as part of their new "Power Up" campaign, they will use Livingston as a "straightforward, relatable guy who finds unconventional ways to talk about Sprint's wireless services".
