    Eric James McCormack (born April 18, 1963

    Stratford Shakespeare Festival
    , where he spent five years performing in many stage productions.

    During the late 1990s he lived in

    in 2001.

    Aside from appearing in television, he made his

    The Hub's Pound Puppies. From 2009 to 2010 he starred as Dr. Max Kershaw, the psychiatrist turned boyfriend of Julia Louis-Dreyfus' title character in The New Adventures of Old Christine. In 2023, he performed on Broadway in The Cottage. [3] In 2021, McCormack joined the cast of Departure.[4]

    Early life

    McCormack was born in Toronto, Ontario, the son of Doris (1932–2006), a homemaker, and James "Keith" McCormack, an

    Scarborough, Ontario,[12][13] where he was a classmate of David Furnish.[14] He enrolled in theatre classes there and performed in high school productions of Godspell and Pippin.[15] McCormack recalls that after performing in Godspell, his feelings toward becoming an actor solidified and he decided to pursue a career in acting. "I remember after the first performance of that... I knew where to fit in. That was the beginning of my life as an actor. It changed me in that the concept of any other options disappeared. From that moment there was no question. I knew exactly what I was going to do. I'm lucky that way."[5]

    McCormack graduated from high school in 1982

    Manitoba Theatre Centre in a production of Burn This, as well as with Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre in Biloxi Blues.[15]

    Career

    Early work

    McCormack made his Canadian television debut in the 1986 movie

    novel of the same name and in its sequel, Return to the Lost World, also released in 1992.[15] By 1993, he landed a recurring role as a detective in the crime drama Street Justice.[7] Also in 1993, McCormack appeared in the television movie Double, Double, Toil and Trouble, playing Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's father.[18]

    He played the role of Colonel Francis Clay Mosby in 42 episodes of the

    Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years (1995).[7][16] McCormack commented that it was a "fantastic role".[14] In an interview with The Guardian in 2003, he admitted to auditioning "two or three times" for the part of Ross Geller for the situation comedy Friends, which ultimately went to David Schwimmer.[14] In 1995, he appeared in the television film The Man Who Wouldn't Die.[19] He was cast in the 1997 made-for-television movie Borrowed Hearts, where he portrayed a selfish businessman who learns to love, and in the HBO film Exception to the Rule, in which he played a cheating husband.[14]

    Also in 1997, he had minor roles in the comedy shows Townies, Veronica's Closet, and Ally McBeal.[15] Originally, McCormack was scheduled to appear as a series regular in the NBC sitcom Jenny, but was fired after the pilot due to the network cutting his character.[20] In addition McCormack had a recurring role in season five of the comedy series The New Adventures of Old Christine, in which he played a therapist and love interest for Julia Louis-Dreyfus's character, Christine.[21]

    Will & Grace

    McCormack received his breakthrough role in 1998 when he was cast as

    Golden Globe Award nominations.[27]

    Also in 1998, McCormack appeared in Stephen Herek's comedy film Holy Man.[28] The film was critically and financially unsuccessful.[29][30] The next year he starred in the comedy movie Free Enterprise (1999), a movie about two filmmakers (McCormack and Rafer Weigel) obsessed with actor William Shatner and Star Trek. Film critic Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times wrote that McCormack and Weigel "both make a strong impression".[31] In 2000, McCormack appeared in the ABC television movie The Audrey Hepburn Story, portraying actor Mel Ferrer.[32]

    During the 2001

    Tribeca Film Festival.[38]

    Will & Grace's eighth and (at the time) final season ended with the series finale on May 18, 2006. The finale garnered 18 million American viewers,[39] making it the most-watched entertainment telecast in six years.[40]

    In January 2017, NBC closed a deal for a new, 10-episode season of Will & Grace during the 2017–18 season. The new show has been branded as a "reboot", or "revival", taking place 11 years after the original series' finale episode, and McCormack has reprised his role of the beloved Will Truman. In April 2017, the episode order was increased to 12 episodes.[citation needed] In August 2017 it was extended again to 16 episodes, and a second 13-episode season was ordered.[41] In March 2018, NBC ordered five more episodes for the revival's second season, bringing the total to 18 episodes, and also renewed the show for an 18-episode third season. Eric McCormack continued his role of Will Truman for all of the announced seasons of the revival.[42]

    After Will & Grace

    After Will & Grace ended McCormack starred on the New York stage opposite

    off-Broadway play Some Girl(s) at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.[43] He plays a writer who is ready to settle down and marry, but decides to visit four ex-girlfriends first. For his performance, McCormack received critical reviews. New York Times contributor Ben Brantley, in review of the production, wrote: "Playing a thoughtless, woman-despising heterosexual, Mr. McCormack isn't much different from when he was playing a thoughtful, woman-worshiping homosexual. As in Will & Grace, he italicizes every other line for maximum comic spin and punctuates his dialogue by earnestly furrowing his features".[43] Brantley went on to say that McCormack's interpretation of the character is "certainly a more slickly sustained performance" than the one delivered by David Schwimmer in 2005.[43] Melissa Rose Bernardo of Entertainment Weekly commented that McCormack and Tierney "have incredible chemistry".[44]

    In the same year, McCormack produced the

    political incorrectness."[47] The show was cancelled that same year.[48]

    San Diego Comic-Con International
    in 2009

    In 2008, McCormack co-starred in the

    A&E television miniseries The Andromeda Strain, a remake of the 1971 movie based on the novel by Michael Crichton.[49] In the miniseries he played Jack Nash, a television reporter who battles an addiction to cocaine. The Andromeda Strain received mixed reviews,[50] and McCormack's performance was criticized. Joanna Weiss of the Boston Globe wrote, "The presence of Eric McCormack, as an intrepid TV reporter, is especially extraneous (no disrespect to intrepid reporters)."[51] Robert Bianco of USA Today commented, "The central cast is completed by... poor Eric McCormack as a crusading, coke-addicted journalist who spends the second half of the movie playing Rambo in the desert. Let's just say McCormack does the best he can with what he's given, and leave it at that."[52] On September 5, 2008, McCormack made a guest appearance in the seventh season and 100th episode of the television series Monk, where he played an unctuous host of a television crime docudrama.[53][54]

    In January 2009, McCormack returned to television in the

    typecast.[56] His decision to do the show, he said, was due to "great writing".[57] The show debuted on January 26, 2009, and was watched by almost 3.4 million viewers.[58] Trust Me debuted to very positive reviews, with Tim Goodman of the San Francisco Chronicle writing that "the series is surprisingly solid."[59] Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times wrote that McCormack and Cavanagh "manage to keep their characters sharply defined but low-key. They are opposites but not in an ash-smudged, Windex-wielding Felix and Oscar way."[60] The series, however, was cancelled after one season due to poor ratings.[61][62]

    McCormack starred in the science-fiction film Alien Trespass (2009); he played Doctor Ted Lewis, who gets possessed by an alien marshal, Urp, after he crash-lands on Earth.[63] When asked about his interpretation on the character, McCormack commented that his first instinct was to make Ted Lewis more alien, sounding like Spock.[63] The film was critically and financially unsuccessful.[64][65]

    McCormack's star on Canada's Walk of Fame

    In May 2009, he portrayed "El Gallo" in Reprise Theatre Company's revival of the 1960s musical

    11th season playing an owner of a dating website.[69]

    McCormack portrayed con artist

    Clark Rockefeller in the Lifetime television movie Who Is Clark Rockefeller?, which premiered on March 13, 2010.[70] Preparing for the role he read everything on the case,[71] including coverage of the case and Rockefeller's jailhouse interview.[72] Who Is Clark Rockefeller? received mixed reaction, but McCormack's performance was favored by critics, with Variety's Brian Lowry concluding that "the real kitsch factor resides in Eric McCormack's performance as the suave charmer, which adds an element of high camp to the proceedings."[73]

    In June 2010, McCormack received the NBC Universal Canada Award of Distinction at the

    series, which premiered October 10, 2010.

    From March 6 through July 8, 2012, he played the role of Senator Joseph Cantwell in the Broadway revival of Gore Vidal’s The Best Man.[80] In February 2015, he guest-starred on an episode of NBC's The Mysteries of Laura which stars Debra Messing, his former co-star on Will & Grace. He starred in Travelers, a science fiction drama which first aired in October 2016 and ran for three seasons.

    In 2020, he narrated a portion of the 8th Canadian Screen Awards.[81] In 2022, McCormack was cast in the fifth season of the Shudder horror series Slasher and the first season of the Hulu mystery thriller series The Other Black Girl, which both premiered the following year.[82][83]

    Other projects

    McCormack has set up his own production company called Big Cattle Productions to develop ideas for television.[20] The projects produced by the company include Lovespring International and Imperfect Union.[84][85] In 2003, it was confirmed that he would write, direct, and star in the romantic comedy What You Wish For.[86][87]

    McCormack recorded a song, "

    Unexpected Dreams – Songs From the Stars.[88] He also wrote and sang a song called "Living with Grace" for the 2004 soundtrack to Will & Grace with piano music provided by Barry Manilow.[89]

    Personal life

    dual Canadian and US citizenship.[93]

    McCormack is involved in many Los Angeles and Canadian-based charitable organizations including Project Angel Food.[94] The Wellness Community West Los Angeles Tribute to the Human Spirit Awards dinner presented an award to McCormack for his breast cancer awareness advocacy. He shared with the audience how his comedy helped his mother, Doris McCormack, endure her breast cancer treatments.[95] Doris McCormack was honored at the Lifetime's Breast Cancer Heroes Luncheon in 2004.[96][97] He serves as an honorary board member of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) and was given the MMRF Spirit of Hope Award in October 2006.[98]

    McCormack sang both the American and Canadian national anthems at the

    Proposition 8.[100][101] McCormack is a Democrat.[102]
