D.B. Sweeney Michael Whitman on life as we know it
D.B. Sweeney began his career with memorable roles as Shoeless Joe Jackson in "Eight Men Out," Jackie Willow in "Gardens of Stone" and Lt. Phil Lowenthal in Francis Ford Coppola's "Memphis Belle." He played a hockey player turned figure skater in the romantic comedy "The Cutting Edge," and followed with starring roles in the thriller "No Man's Land," the sci-fi pic "Fire in the Sky" and the heartfelt drama "Roommates."Sweeney's big break in show business came when, after landing a series of commercials, he was cast in the Broadway revival of "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial." Other theatre credits include performances in "Death of a Salesman" and "Under Milk Wood" at the prestigious Williamstown Theatre, and "Blue Light," directed by Sydney Lumet for Bay Street Theater Sag Harbor. Supporting role credits in film include parts in "Hard Ball," "Spawn" and "Speak" (Sundance, 2004). On television, Sweeney is best known for his roles opposite Diane Lane in the landmark miniseries, "Lonesome Dove," and opposite Halle Barry in "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge." Most recently he played a series regular on "Strange Luck," the ABC series "C-16" and the Emmy Award-winning "Miss Rose White," and guest starred on "CSI: Miami" and "Karen Cisco." Born in Shoreham, New York, Sweeney initially had aspirations to become a professional baseball player. While an injury cut short his hopes of playing ball, a new door opened to the world of entertainment. PERSONAL INFORMATION HOMETOWN: Shoreham, NY BIRTHDATE: November 14 Need to write?
