Aidan Quinn, born March 8, 1959, has traversed a formidable career since his film debut in "Reckless" in 1984, amassing over eighty feature films. His star turn in "Desperately Seeking Susan" set the stage for diverse roles in "The Mission," "Stakeout," and "Avalon." Quinn's versatility shone in period pieces like "Legends of the Fall" and "Michael Collins," and in lighter fare such as "Benny & Joon" and "Practical Magic." His Emmy-nominated performances in "An Early Frost" and "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" underscore his range, alongside his IFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor in "The Eclipse." A staple on "Elementary" from 2012 to 2019, Quinn's prolific output reflects a career marked by sustained engagement with both Hollywood and Irish cinema.
