Famous for Acting
Kaj-Erik Eriksen is a Canadian actor. He is best known for his roles as Danny Farrell in the television series The 4400, Jeremy Peters in the television series Boston Public, and as the son of the main character in the 1990s show The Commish. Eriksen began his acting career in Vancouver, British Columbia at the age of six. After only a few jobs as an extra and a couple of small speaking roles, he got his first big break when he landed a part in the independent film Quarantine. The shoot was very low budget and the cast and crew had to climb through broken windows to get to the set that was inside an abandoned, rat-infested warehouse. Kaj loved it and was hooked on acting right away.

During The Commish's five year run, Eriksen worked on numerous other projects including the re-make of the classic film Captains Courageous, and popular TV shows Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark?. At age 17 when The Commish ended, Eriksen moved to Los Angeles and continued his career and schooling there, making guest appearances on television shows such as Home Improvement and Walker, Texas Ranger. Kaj returned to Vancouver in 1999 to shoot two seasons of Beggars and Choosers, a short-lived series that received critical praise as well as a cult following. In 2001 after returning to Los Angeles, Kaj landed the role of Jeremy Peters on David E. Kelley's Boston Public. What was supposed to be a four episode arc turned into a recurring role that lasted 2 seasons. It also ended up being one of Eriksen's most recognizable roles to date.

During Eriksen's 25 years in the business, he has guest starred on many popular TV shows including Tru Calling, Stephen King's Dead Zone, Star Trek: Enterprise, NCIS, Criminal Minds and The Closer. In 2010 he starred alongside Richard Thomas in the Hallmark movie Time After Time.
