He gained stardom for playing a working class father Al Bundy on the Fox sitcom Married... with Children (1987–1997) for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy twice. He had a career resurgence portraying the family patriarch Jay Pritchett on the award-winning ABC sitcom Modern Family (2009–2020), for which he was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series and won four Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Ensemble in a Comedy Series. [2] [3] He portrayed Governor Eric Baker in the drama series The West Wing (2004–2005) and Donald Sterling in the FX on Hulu limited series Clipped (2024).

On film, he made his debut in the William Friedkin crime thriller Cruising (1980). He has since appeared in the Wayne's World film series (1991–1992), Dutch (1991), Little Giants (1994), Prefontaine (1997), The Spanish Prisoner (1997), The Bone Collector (1999), Sun Dogs (2017), and The Last Shift (2020). He has done voice-work for animated films such as the Wreck-It Ralph franchise (2012–present) and Finding Dory (2016).

Early life and education

Ed O'Neill was born into an Irish-American Catholic family in Youngstown, Ohio, on April 12, 1946. [4] [5] [6] Both sides of his family are the descendants of Irish immigrants who came to the United States in the 1850s. [7]

His mother, Ruth Ann (née Quinlan) (1924-2017), was a homemaker and social worker, and his father, Edward Phillip O'Neill (1921-2008), was a steel mill worker and truck driver. [6] O'Neill attended Ursuline High School where he played football. At 14, he worked in construction, then at a steel mill. [8]

He was awarded a football scholarship to Ohio University, where he majored in history, and was a member of the Mu chapter of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. [9] He left the university after his sophomore year. He admits he spent more time playing sports and partying than studying. [9] He also feuded with his coach. [8]

He transferred to Youngstown State University, where he lettered as a defensive lineman from 1967 to 1968. [10] As an undergraduate, he pledged Delta Sigma Phi and was initiated into the Delta Sigma chapter there. [6] While at Youngstown State, he played in a game against Roger Staubach, who was playing for the Pensacola Naval Station. [11] O'Neill said that his team was penalized 15 yards when he hit Staubach out of bounds. [12]

Professional football career

O'Neill was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969 under rookie head coach Chuck Noll but was cut in training camp, having to compete with fellow rookie defensive lineman "Mean Joe" Greene and L. C. Greenwood for a roster spot. Both became key members of the Steel Curtain defense during the Steelers success in the 1970s. [5] [6] [13] Later, while on Married... with Children, O'Neill played a former high school football star who had failed to make it big and constantly reminisced about his "glory days" at Polk High ("I once scored four touchdowns in a single game"). As part of this theme, former Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw also made two guest appearances on the show. O'Neill worked as a substitute social studies teacher at his alma mater Ursuline High School before becoming an actor. [6]

O'Neill re-enrolled at Youngstown State after being cut by the Steelers and was one of the first students at the school's new theater program. [8] Later, in 1979, he played a boxer opposite Danny Aiello in the Broadway play Knockout at the Helen Hayes Theatre. Richard Eder of The New York Times described the performance as "chilling" adding, "As Paddy Klonski, the brutal young boxer, Edward O'Neill's towering physique, peaceful smile and empty eyes form a genuinely frightening presence". [14] It was there that he was seen by director William Friedkin and landed his first movie role, as a police detective in Cruising , starring Al Pacino. [15]

In 1985, O'Neill appeared alongside Jeff Kinsland in a Red Lobster commercial. [16] He made a brief guest appearance in The Equalizer . In 1986, he was cast as NYPD detective Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle for the planned television series Popeye Doyle . The character had originally appeared in the motion picture The French Connection (played by Gene Hackman). The two-hour made-for-television movie/pilot was filmed and shown on network television. O'Neill received good reviews for his performance, and the pilot received positive ratings, but the series was not picked up for production.

1987–2008: Married with Children and other roles

In 1984, while playing the role of Lennie in a stage production of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men at Hartford Stage in Hartford, Connecticut, he was seen by a casting agent from the Fox television network and was asked to audition for the role of Al Bundy [17] [18] [19] in Married... with Children , a proposed sitcom about a dysfunctional family living in Chicago. [6] He won the part because, during the audition, he simply slumped his shoulders and sighed as he was about to walk through the front door of the home. [20] Married... with Children led off the first night of Fox's primetime lineup on April 5, 1987, concluding after 11 seasons on June 9, 1997.

During this time O'Neill starred in several films, including the family films Dutch (1991) and Little Giants (1994). [21] He also had small parts in the comedy films Wayne's World (1992), and Wayne's World 2 (1993). [21] He appeared as Relish the Troll King in The 10th Kingdom (2000). He took roles in the drama films Prefornatine (1997), The Spanish Prisoner (1997), and The Bone Collector (1999). [21] O'Neill made a brief appearance on the comedy variety show In Living Color , playing the "Dirty Dozens" champion who defeats the challenger, played by Jamie Foxx in 1994. He also made a cameo on the sitcom 8 Simple Rules as the ex-boyfriend of Cate S. Hennessy (played by Katey Sagal, who portrayed O'Neill's wife Peggy Bundy on Married... with Children). [22] He appeared in the movie The Adventures of Ford Fairlane with Andrew Dice Clay. During the mid-1990s, he had a string of appearances in commercials for 1-800-COLLECT.

Law & Order franchise creator Dick Wolf cast O'Neill as Sergeant Joe Friday in his 2003 update of Jack Webb's long-running Dragnet media franchise. [23] The series was canceled by ABC in its second season. O'Neill went on to appear as Governor Eric Baker, a recurring character on the NBC political drama series The West Wing from 2004 to 2005. [24] O'Neill also played Bill on HBO's television series John from Cincinnati . In 2008, O'Neill appeared in an advertisement for then-presidential candidate Barack Obama as "Al the Shoesalesman". [25] In January 2009, O'Neill reunited with David Faustino (Bud Bundy from Married... with Children) for two episodes of Faustino's show Star-ving . [26] O'Neill also appeared with the entire cast of Married... with Children again when they were honored at the 7th Annual TV Land Award show in 2009. [27]

2009–present: Resurgence with Modern Family

For eleven seasons O'Neill played the role of Jay Pritchett on the ABC sitcom Modern Family from 2009 to 2020. Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly wrote, "O’Neill may have the trickiest job here. A late-middle-ager remarried to a Latina bombshell...his Jay wants to enjoy his overdue-midlife-crisis prize but has to put up with her mope of a son...and do it without seeming like a mean old duffer. O’Neill and the writers pull it off by making Jay both deadpan sarcastic and a genuinely decent guy." [28] Gina Bellafante of The New York Times wrote, "Mr. O’Neill exquisitely portrays the straight man to the fire engine of Sofia Vergara". [29] Barry Garron of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "O’Neill’s Al Bundy is one of TV’s most unforgettable characters, but this role will let viewers see him in a new light". [30] The role earned him three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series nominations—in 2011, 2012, and 2013. [31] [32] [33] O'Neill won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Comedy Series four times from 2010 through 2013.

Since 2012, O'Neill has done voice-overs in TV advertisements for the over-the-counter form of Zyrtec, [34] along with Walmart's store-branded mobile phone service Straight Talk. In 2016, O'Neill starred as Hank the Octopus in the Pixar animated film Finding Dory . According to O'Neill, he didn't realize at first that he had a starring role in the film. As his voice recording sessions continued and most of his interactions turned out to be with Dory, he began to suspect that Hank was a major character in the film. [35]

O'Neill starred in FX on Hulu miniseries Clipped portraying Donald Sterling. [36] Andrew Lawrence of The Guardian gave the show a perfect score declaring, "Forty years of playing cranks on screen has given Ed O’Neill a particular understanding for Sterling’s quirks, gripes and foibles that few others in his field can claim". [37] Daniel Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "O’Neill leans hard into every aspect of his entitled grotesquerie, from the external — such a bad dye job — to the dazed certainty in his intonations. It’s not a subtle performance, but Donald Sterling’s general grossness wasn’t a secret". [38] Quinci LeGardye of The A.V. Club stated, "O’Neill gives a skilled performance as a truly reprehensible human being". [39]

Personal life

O'Neill is married to actress Catherine Rusoff. As of 1986, they were living in Los Angeles with their two daughters. [40]

After being introduced to Brazilian jiu-jitsu by his friend writer/director John Milius, O'Neill has trained for 22 years under the mentoring of Rorion Gracie. In December 2007, after 16 years of training, O'Neill received his black belt. [41] [42] In the 2012 TV documentary I Am Bruce Lee , O'Neill states that he considers getting his black belt "the greatest achievement of my life, apart from my children." [43]

On May 18, 2013, O'Neill was the recipient of an honorary Doctor of Arts degree from his alma mater, Youngstown State University. [44] On November 30, 2023, after the controversial hiring of Republican congressman Bill Johnson as the university's president, O'Neill told Ideastream he was going to return his degree, saying, "I don't want it... I'm going to start calling it Trump-U." [45]
