Michael O'Keefe

Highest Rated: 95% The Great Santini (1979)

Lowest Rated: 0% The Slugger's Wife (1985)

Birthday: Apr 24, 1955

Birthplace: Mount Vernon, New York, USA

This tall, slim actor is one of those rare performers who manages to divide his time equally between stage, film and TV work, though his regular stint in "Roseanne" has taken up much of his time since the early 1990s. One of seven children born into a wealthy Irish-American family, O'Keefe was a baseball star for his parochial school team. He began acting in his teens, and by the early 1980s had amassed an impressive theater resume including "Fifth of July," "Streamers," "Mass Appeal" and "Short Eyes."
