Biography

John C. McGinleys path to stardom is a story that reads like a classic Hollywood script. While an understudy in New York in the Circle-In-The-Square production of John Patrick Shanleys Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, he was spotted by director Oliver Stone and soon after was cast in Platoon, the first of a long list of collaborations between Stone and McGinley which includes Wall Street, Talk Radio, Born on the Fourth of July, Nixon and Any Given Sunday. He stars as the title character in IFCs scripted comedy-horror series, Stan Against Evil, on which he also serves as a producer. John C. stars as disgruntled former police sheriff Stanley Miller, a sour, aging bulldog who has recently lost his position as head honcho due to an angry outburst at his wifes funeral. When the new sheriff opens his eyes to the plague of angry demons haunting their small New Hampshire town, Stan begrudgingly joins an alliance with her to fight them off. John C.s deep commitment to independent films has driven him to star in and complete production on three upcoming motion pictures in 2016 alone! James Gunns The Belko Experiment, Paul Shoulbergs The Good Catholic and Richard Dressers Rounding Third. He is an audience favorite for his hilarious portrayal of Dr. Perry Cox in the Emmy-nominated medical comedy series, Scrubs, which ended its successful nine season run in 2010.
