Michael McGlone(I)

Michael McGlone was born in White Plains, NY, the third born child of Joe and Jean McGlone. Raised in various towns throughout the American northeast, it was in 1991, when the family was living in Fairfield, CT that McGlone departed for New York City and Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, wherefrom, a year later, in his words he "self-graduated." Not long after, through an ad in the paper Backstage, he landed the role that would mark the beginning of his career as an actor. That role was the beloved Patrick McMullen, the excessively moral and excessively conflicted youngest brother in the Sundance Festival Grand Jury Prize Winning film The Brothers McMullen. With the middle brother and director of that film, Edward Burns, McGlone would go on to star in She's the One and later, with Philip Noyce, The Bone Collector, with Bruno Barreto, One Tough Cop and in Bob Giraldi's classic sleeper independent film Dinner Rush. As prolific in television, McGlone's numerous recurring roles include the fan favorite Detective Szymanski on Person of Interest, Bobby McKeen in Starz' dramatic series Crash, and SpikeTV's The Kill Point. Most recently joining the cast of CBS' S.W.A.T., in the role of the infamous bomber/gangster Joey Barrata, you can also see him in a return to the screen with Eddie Burns in their third feature film together, The Fitzgerald Family Christmas, in which McGlone plays the fiery Quinn Fitzgerald...

Whether his award winning pilot Kenny The Gun, his various poetry and novels, stand-up comedy or Music McGlone has always pursued the most abundant expression of his multi-talents.
