Early life

Woodside was born in Jamaica, Queens, New York. After injuring his knee while playing for his high school football team (at Roy C. Ketcham High School in Wappingers Falls, New York), Woodside heard the drama club performing a scene from a play and was interested. This exposure pushed Woodside to an acting career.

Career

He got his start in the second season of Murder One in 1996, playing Aaron Mosley. After that series' cancellation, he guest starred on The Practice, Snoops, The Division and Once and Again. He made a guest appearance on JAG in its final season as FBI Agent Rod Benton. From 2002 to 2003, Woodside guest starred in 14 episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's final season, as Principal Robin Wood, Buffy's boss and son of a Slayer. He followed this up in the following television season, playing the pragmatic Wayne Palmer, the Chief of Staff and brother to President David Palmer during the third season of 24. In the fifth season of the series, he returned to reprise the role as a guest star in episodes 1–2 and 14–18. Woodside returned as a series regular for the sixth season as the President of the United States.

He had a guest role as Marlon Waylord in the episode of CSI 'Harvest' in 2004. In 2007, he was a guest star on the hit TV show Grey's Anatomy in that show's 4th season episode, "Forever Young," wherein he played the character of Marcus. Woodside also guest-starred as a doctor in the series finale of the USA Network series Monk. He currently has a recurring role on the CW series Hellcats. In 2009, he starred in the first series of the hit US drama, Lie To Me.

He is currently starring as Malcolm Franks on the VH1 series "Single Ladies," playing opposite LisaRaye McCoy as Keisha Greene.
