Biography
A native of Colorado, John Carroll Lynch spent the first eight years of his professional career as a member of Minneapolis's Guthrie Theater Company with roles in over 30 productions. He landed his first major film role as Norm, Francis McDormand's duck-obsessed husband in the Coen brothers' Academy Award-winning "Fargo." Since then Lynch has worked steadily in film, television and theater, playing an impressive range of characters -- some lovable, some funny, some terrifying -- doctors, killers, perplexed fathers, aggravated brothers, frustrated husbands, rich business men, poor contractors, southerners, northerners, westerners and easterners. With over 40 film credits, Lynch has been directed by Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Greg Mottola, Mark Ruffalo, Miguel Arteta, Mick Jackson and Albert Brooks, among others.
On the small screen Lynch has appeared in many series regular, recurring and miniseries roles, including "Carnivale," "Body Of Proof," "K-Ville," "Big Love," "How to Make it in America," "From the Earth to the Moon" and David E. Kelley's "Brotherhood of Poland, NH." For six seasons he played Drew's cross-dressing brother on ABC's "The Drew Carey Show."
Lynch continues to pursue work in the theater. He returned to the Guthrie Theater where he had the lead role of Eddie Carbone in Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge. Other stage appearances include the original production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Dinner with Friends at South Coast Repertory, Under the Blue Sky at the Geffen, and Beth Henley's world premiere, Ridiculous Fraud at New Jersey's McCarter Theater.
