Biography: Aidan Quinn is an Irish-American actor. Aidan Quinn was born in Rockford, Illinois. He was raised in Chicago and Rockford by devoutly Catholic parents as well as in Dublin, Offaly, and other places...( read more ) in Ireland. His father was a professor in literature and his mother a homemaker; he has an older brother, Declan Quinn, who is a noted cinematographer. Aidan Quinn got his start in the Chicago theatre at age 19. He trained at Piven Theatre Workshop. His first significant film role was in Reckless (1984), followed by a breakthrough role in Desperately Seeking Susan as the character "Dez" (the love interest of the character played by Rosanna Arquette). Quinn next starred in the controversial TV movie An Early Frost, about a young lawyer dying of AIDS (it was broadcast on NBC on November 11, 1985) and co-starred such luminaries as Gena Rowlands, Ben Gazzara and Sylvia Sidney.

Quinn lost a major role when Paramount Pictures dropped the controversial Martin Scorsese movie The Last Temptation of Christ. When Universal Pictures picked up the film, the role went to Willem Dafoe. Since then, Quinn's roles have been mainly supporting roles in major studio films and leading roles in independent films, including appearances in The Handmaid's Tale (1990), Benny & Joon (1993), Michael Collins (1996), Practical Magic (1998) and Song For a Raggy Boy (2003). Quinn is married to the actress Elizabeth Bracco, sister of actress Lorraine Bracco. Quinn was nominated in 1986 for an Emmy Award for lead actor in a miniseries or special for his performance in An Early Frost, but he lost to Dustin Hoffman, who won the award for his performance in Death of a Salesman. In 2006, Quinn starred in the short lived drama The Book of Daniel which ran for 3 weeks on NBC (before being cancelled).

  ive always been a fan of aidan quinn, as well as the irish connection (im irish)he is extremely talented. i try to see everything he works on but could not bring myself to watch song for a raggy boy. whether it is the shame that it happened in ireland and was allowed to happen, or the fact that i have a young son and would find it much too emotional.
  anyways if you do read this aidan keep up the good work,you keep many entertained and happy. thank you

  This man is so FINE! But I try to watch whatever he is in, and I must admit I've not seen that much. But wasn't he in that little movie "Songcatcher" about a music teach who went into the Appalachians to capture some songs? I also remember him in a movie where his dad was a stubburn guy who had a printing or publishing business. Is it one of those already listed? He has real hunk appeal & need to find a vehicle.
