Dave Annable Movies
The overwhelmingly genial, dark-haired American actor Dave Annable gained recognition in the mid-2000s for his high-profile involvement in two series. As one of his first assignments, Annable signed on as one of the lead characters, Aaron, in the drama/murder mystery series Reunion (2005). The program explored occurrences in the lives of six former high school friends from 1986 through 2006, and recounted events leading up to the murder of one of the major characters, or at least it was supposed to. Unfortunately, it folded not long after it premiered -- the victim of low ratings -- so the story was only revealed through the year 1994, the ninth episode.Annable fared infinitely better (yet received slightly lower billing) on the prime-time ensemble drama Brothers & Sisters, starring Sally Field, Calista Flockhart, Rachel Griffiths, and Balthazar Getty. That series concerned the trials and travails befalling one extended California family; Annable played Justin, a psychologically damaged Afghan war veteran with drug problems. Brothers & Sisters encountered mediocre reviews on par with Reunion when it premiered in September 2006, but drew favorable ratings, presumably thanks in no small part to that cast, and it continued on for several seasons. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

The weekly, hour-long Fox drama series Reunion covered 20 years in the lives of the six protagonists, from high school graduation in 1986 to adulthood in 2006. As conceived by creator Jon Harmon Feldman (Tru Calling), each episode would cover a different year, with different casts and locales, all leading up to the murder of one of the main characters in "the present." For season one, scenes of a police interrogation in 2005 led to flashbacks of 1986, allowing viewers tantalizing "then and now" glimpses of the principals, and providing clues as to who would be killed, who would be the killer, and why it all happened. Featured in the cast were Amanda Righetti as Jenna, Alexa Davalos as Samantha, Will Estes as Will, Sean Faris as Craig, Gregory Harrison as Russell Bennett, Dave Annable as Aaron, Chyler Leigh as Carla, and Mathew St. Patrick as Detective Marjorino. Reunion premiered September 8, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
