Ed O'Neill

Ed O'Neill is known to millions of fans for his television portrayal of working-class hero Al Bundy on "Married With Children," a role which garnered him a Golden Globe nomination in 1993.  Other television credits include, "Whereabouts of Jenny," "Midnight Caller" and "Popeye Doyle."

An Ohio native, O'Neill was bit by the acting bug while working as sixth grade school teacher in Youngstown, prompting him to move to New York to study acting professionally at New York's Circle in the Square.  His big acting break came while he worked as an understudy for the lead in the Broadway adaptation of "Knockout."  True to theatrical legend, the lead left the show and the understudy took ove.  Other stage credits include Off-Broadway performances of "Front Page," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Lake Boat," "A Streetcar Named Desire," "The Gerte People," "Androcles & The Lion" and "Of Mice and Men." 

O'Neill has appeared in over a dozen feature films including "Cruising," "The Dogs of War," "K-9," "Disorganized Crime," "Sibling Rivalry," "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane," "Dutch," "Wayne's World 2," "Little Giants," "Blue Chip," "The Spanish Prisoner," "Prefontaine" and most recently, the box-office hit, "The Bone Collector."
