Evan Handler is an actor beloved by millions as Harry Goldenblatt, husband to Charlotte York (played by Kristin Davis) from HBO’s landmark television series SEX AND THE CITY. Currently co-starring with David Duchovny on Showtime’s hit comedy CALIFORNICATION, Handler is also the critically acclaimed author of the memoir Time on Fire: My Comedy of Terrors, which chronicled his triumph over a supposedly “incurable” form of leukemia in his twenties. Called “suspenseful and harrowing, moving and admirable” by The New York Times Book Review, it was described as “a wildly humorous, keenly observed journey” and “a ceaselessly compassionate vision of the human spirit” by the San Francisco Review of Books.

Handler has also played leading roles in films and television shows such as Lost, Ransom, The West Wing, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Shark, and It’s Like, You Know….He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter.

Handler's new book, IT'S ONLY TEMPORARY: THE GOOD NEWS AND THE BAD NEWS OF BEING ALIVE, comes out May 1, 2008, from Riverhead books.
