Kelly AuCoin

**Kelly AuCoin** (born February 14, 1967) is an American actor. He portrayed Bill Stearn in Billions. He is the son of former US Representative Les AuCoin.

## Biography

AuCoin was born in the Portland suburb of Hillsboro, Oregon, the son of former US Representative Walter "Les" AuCoin and Susan (née Swearingen) AuCoin, and grew up in Oregon and Washington, D.C., where his father served as a United States Congressman from 1975 to 1993. His first appearance on television was in one of his father's campaign commercials, in which he countered claims that his father was a tax-and-spend Democrat by washing the family car to illustrate how cheap his father actually was. AuCoin is a graduate of Georgetown Day School and Oberlin College.

### Career

Upon arriving in New York, AuCoin landed small roles in several soap operas, including *Guiding Light* and *The City*. In the early 2000s, AuCoin appeared in episodes of *The Sopranos* and the first of many episodes of *Law & Order*. His breakthrough came in 2014, when he landed recurring roles in Netflix's *House of Cards*, *The Americans*, and, most importantly, as the rabidly loyal - and notoriously cheap - cult favorite, "Dollar" Bill Stearn, on the Showtime series *Billions*. He has also appeared in other television series, such as *The Bold Type*, in which he played Jane Sloan's father during the show's final season, *Madam Secretary*, the NBC miniseries *The Slap*, *Unforgettable*, *Person of Interest*, *Forever*, *The Following*, *Elementary*, *The Good Wife*, *White Collar*, *Gossip Girl*, *Blue Bloods*, among others. He played the regular recurring role of Peter Keatch in the CBS series *Waterfront*, which was canceled before ever airing, despite having shot five episodes.

For the 2012 presidential election, NPR's *Planet Money* team cast AuCoin as their "Fake Presidential Candidate" to give voice to "major economic policies they could all stand behind."
