Terry O'Quinn

  • Name: Terry O'Quinn
  • Date of Birth: July 15, 1952
  • Place of Birth: Newberry, Michigan, USA
Mini-bio: O'Quinn began acting in the 1970s. He has appeared in such films as Tombstone and Heaven's Gate. His most well-known film role was his acclaimed turn as a deranged serial killer in The Stepfather. His...( read more) early television roles included guest appearances on Earth 2, Moonlighting, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and JAG. In 1995, O'Quinn began a series of guest appearances in shows produced by The X-Files producer Chris Carter. In addition to The X-Files, Carter cast his friend O'Quinn in the TV series Millennium and Harsh Realm as well as in the X-Files movie Fight the Future.

After a string of recurring appearances on Alias (2002-2003), as the intriguing FBI Director Kendall, O'Quinn caught the eye and became a favorite of another television producer, this time J.J. Abrams. Following a seven-episode guest run on The West Wing in 2003 and 2004, O'Quinn got a call from Abrams indicating that the producer wanted to cast him (without any audition needed) in his new television drama Lost, about a group of people stranded on a mysterious island after a plane crash. O'Quinn later admitted on the TV Guide Channel that he didn't have much faith in the series at first, calling it "The Mysterious Gilligan's Island of Dr. Moreau." The mystery - conspiracy theory series proved an immediate success with viewers, and O'Quinn's character - the island's prophet of sorts - is a fan favorite. In July 2005, O'Quinn received an Emmy nomination for best supporting actor in a drama for his work as John Locke on Lost.
