Biography
Early life
Daly was born in New York City[1], the only son and youngest child of actor James Daly and actress Hope Newell. He is a younger brother of actress Tyne Daly, who is 10 years his senior and is a brother-in-law of television and film composer Mark Snow. He is also related to former game show host and newsman John Charles Daly. He has two other sisters, Mary Glynn (Snow's wife) and Pegeen Michael. He attended The Putney School[2], where he started to study acting. He is of Irish descent. Daly began his professional career while a student at Vermont's Bennington College, where he studied theatre and literature, in which he now holds a Bachelor of Arts[3], and acted in summer stock. He graduated from college in 1979 and moved to New York to continue studying acting and singing.
Career
Daly debuted on stage when he was seven years old in Jenny Kissed Me by Jean Kerr, together with his parents and two sisters. The show also starred Sharon Laughlin and John D. Irving. His first leading film role was in the film Diner, directed by Barry Levinson, in which he shared screen time with actors including Kevin Bacon and Mickey Rourke. Starring roles soon followed in Alan Rudolph's feature, Made in Heaven, the American Playhouse production of The Rise & Rise of Daniel Rocket, and the CBS dramatic series, Almost Grown. He has starred in the Broadway production of Coastal Disturbances by playwright Tina Howe (he received a 1987 Theatre World Award for his performance) opposite Annette Bening, Oliver, Oliver at the Manhattan Theatre Club, Mass Appeal by Bill C. Davis and Bus Stop by William Inge at Trinity Square Repertory, The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams (at the Santa Fe Festival Theatre), A Knife in the Heart and A Study in Scarlet (at the Williamstown Playhouse) and Paris Bound (at the Berkshire Theatre Festival). Daly is well known for his role as straight-laced pilot Joe Hackett on the long-running NBC sitcom Wings. He beat Kevin Conroy for the part. Daly made several appearances on The Sopranos as J.T. Dolan, an old friend of Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli). Daly received a 2007 Emmy nomination for his work on the series. Daly most recently appeared on stage opposite David Schwimmer and Željko Ivanek in the Broadway revival of The Caine Mutiny Court Martial. He appeared on the midseason ABC crime series Eyes, which got good reviews but was canceled after only five episodes. He was the voice of Superman in Superman: The Animated Series. Coincidentally, both Daly and Conroy have worked with each other in a couple of crossover episodes. Daly was unable to return as Superman in Justice League (the role then went to actor George Newbern), as he was already under contract to star in a remake of the 1960s TV drama The Fugitive, a remake that aired for only one season (2000-2001). He reprised the role of Superman in the 2002 video game Superman: Shadow of Apokolips and the 2006 direct-to-video release Superman: Brainiac Attacks. In 2006, Daly played the role of Nick Cavanaugh on the new ABC drama The Nine. Starting May 3, 2007, Daly began playing a new love interest for Kate Walsh (Addison Montgomery) on the new Grey's Anatomy spinoff, Private Practice. In 1997 he and J. Todd Harris formed the Daly-Harris Productions company[4], through which he produced such movies as: Rite of Passage (1999), Execution of Justice (1999) (TV), Urbania (2000), Partners in Crime (2000), Sordid Lives (2000) and Tick Tock (2000). Daly is an owner of Red House Entertainment production company, which he co-founded with wife Amy Van Nostrand and Steve Burleigh. Movies produced through the company include Peabody Award and Humanitas Prize winning Edge of America and Daly's directing debut, the independent film Bereft[5]. Daly and his wife have also created Wandering Park Productions, a company designed to develop and produce a variety of film, television and theater projects. The company producing credits include the critically acclaimed and award winning Los Angeles premiere of Vincent Cardinal's play A Colorado Catechism, starring both Daly and his wife. The play received outstanding reviews and earned both Daly and his wife the DramaLogue Awards for Best Actor and Best Actress.
Personal life
Daly and his wife, actress Amy Van Nostrand, have two children (son Sam born 1984 and daughter Emelyn born 1989), and have both won DramaLogue Awards for Best Actress and Best Actor in the Coast Playhouse's The Colorado Catechism by Vincent J. Cardinal in Los Angeles. They married on September 18, 1982.
