His parents divorced during his childhood, and later remarried, before divorcing a second time. Crudup has two brothers: Tommy, an executive producer, and Brooks, also a producer. He left New York with his family when he was about eight years old, first living in Texas, then in Florida. He graduated from Saint Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1986.

Crudup attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he received an undergraduate degree, and he continued his passion for acting with the undergraduate acting company, Lab!Theatre. He was a member of the Beta Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon. He then studied at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, where he earned a Master in Fine Arts in 1994. A year after graduating, he made his debut on Broadway in the Lincoln Center Theater production of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia.

Career

Crudup began acting in such films as 1996's Sleepers and 1997's Inventing the Abbotts. While he has appeared in many films, he regularly returns to the stage. His first role in an animated feature was in 1999's English release of Princess Mononoke, in which he starred as Ashitaka. He then played Russell Hammond, the mystical guitarist in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous (2000) He has also been the voice of MasterCard "Priceless" commercials in the U.S. since 1997, making his first appearance in an ad in 2005. In 2006's The Good Shepherd he played british spy Arch Cummings, a stand-in for Kim Philby.

Personal life

From 1996 to November 2003, Crudup dated actress Mary-Louise Parker, with whom he had a son, William Atticus, born on January 7, 2004. He received negative publicity because they broke up while she was seven months pregnant. In 2004, Crudup and his Stage Beauty co-star Claire Danes confirmed that they were dating, but denied press reports that they were together at the time of Crudup's split with Parker. In December 2006 the couple split after Danes was seen together with her Evening co-star Hugh Dancy.
