Terry O'Quinn

Biography

Date of Birth 15 July 1952, Newberry, Michigan, USA Birth Name Terrance Quinn Height 6' 1½" (1.87 m) Terrance "Terry" O'Quinn is an Emmy Award-nominated American actor. He is best known for playing the role of John Locke on the popular ABC TV series Lost. O'Quinn began acting in the 1970s. He has appeared in such films as Tombstone, Heaven's Gate, The Rocketeer, and as the deranged serial killer in The Stepfather. His early television roles include guest appearances on Miami Vice (episode "Give a Little, Take a Little"), Earth 2, Moonlighting, Star Trek: The Next Generation (episode "The Pegasus"), The New Twilight Zone (episode "Chameleon") and a recurring role as Rear Admiral Thomas Boone on JAG. In 1995, O'Quinn began a series of notable guest appearances in The X-Files, Millennium, and Harsh Realm, all produced by Chris Carter, who also cast him in the film The X-Files: Fight The Future. After a string of recurring appearances on Alias (2002–2003), as the FBI Director Kendall, O'Quinn became a favorite of television producer J.J. Abrams. Following a seven-episode guest run on The West Wing in 2003–2004, O'Quinn received a call from Abrams indicating that the producer wanted to cast him, with no audition needed, in his new television drama Lost[citation needed]. In July 2005, O'Quinn received an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama for his work as John Locke on Lost. As of 2005 O'Quinn has been married to his wife, Lori, for 25 years. Most of that time they lived in Finksburg, Maryland, but after Lost began airing, the couple decided to follow the example of O'Quinn's co-stars and move to Hawaii, where the series is shot. O'Quinn and his wife are the parents to two sons, Oliver and Hunter who live on the West Coast of the United States.
