View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
Terry Kinney (born January 29, 1954) is an American actor and theater director, and a founding member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, with Gary Sinise and Jeff Perry. Kinney is best known for his role as Tim McManus on HBO's prison drama Oz.
Key Information
Early life
[edit]Kinney was born in Lincoln, Illinois, the son of Elizabeth L. (née Eimer), a telephone operator, and Kenneth C. Kinney, a tractor company supervisor.[1]
Career
[edit]Theatre
[edit]Kinney has been involved in theatre since 1974, when he, Gary Sinise and Jeff Perry founded the Steppenwolf Theatre Company. In describing the company's radical usage of cinematic techniques such as accelerated time, substantial soundtracks and the rough equivalent of dissolves and bleeds, Kinney had said:
We’ve always been more influenced by cinematic techniques than stage techniques because stage techniques have been around long enough to become really boring and cliché. Our earliest influences were the films of Cassavetes, not any plays we’d seen. We always tend to score our pieces and we always tend to manipulate the audience to look where we want them to look and the way to do that is to get very tight on certain situations.[2]
He has directed several plays (see below) and performed in several. In 1985, he performed in the Drama Desk Award–winning play Balm in Gilead by Lanford Wilson. In 1996, Kinney played Tilden in the Sam Shepard play Buried Child directed by Gary Sinise in New York City. During a performance of Buried Child, Kinney had a "terrible, horrible, screaming panic attack" and stayed offstage for several years, only returning in 2002 in a performance with Kurt Elling called Petty Delusions and Grand Obsessions.[3] He directed Richard Greenberg's play Well Appointed Room in 2006 and Neil LaBute's reasons to be pretty in 2009. In 2010, he directed another Lanford Wilson play, Fifth of July, for Bay Street Theatre (July) and for the Williamstown Theatre Festival (August).
In October–November 2012, Kinney directed Checkers, a new play by Douglas McGrath at the Vineyard Theatre, New York City.[4] He directed Lyle Kessler's new play Collision in January 2013 at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater.[5]
Film and television
[edit]Besides his theatrical work, Kinney has done much acting, mainly for television, starting in 1986 with an appearance in Miami Vice. In 1987, he starred as Pastor Tom Bird in the CBS miniseries Murder Ordained opposite JoBeth Williams. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the idealistic unit manager Tim McManus on HBO's prison drama Oz.
In 1995, Kinney co-starred with Tommy Lee Jones in an adaptation of an Elmer Kelton western novel titled The Good Old Boys. Tommy Lee Jones directed this made-for-TV movie which also co-starred Sissy Spacek, Matt Damon, Sam Shepard, Wilford Brimley and retired Texas Ranger H. Joaquin Jackson.
Kinney also directed two episodes of Oz, "Cruel and Unusual Punishments" in 1999 and "Wheel of Fortune" in 2002. Explaining the experience, he said, "it was great training for shooting on a limited budget, on a time crunch."[6]
His film work includes a role in the 1988 film Miles from Home, which featured many cast members of Steppenwolf and was directed by Sinise. In 1995, he played mayoral candidate Todd Carter in Carl Franklin's film Devil in a Blue Dress. In 1996, Kinney played a comedic role as Uncle David in the coming-of-age drama Fly Away Home. In 1999, Kinney played the lead in the indie film The Young Girl and the Monsoon, about Hank, a 39-year-old photojournalist dealing with a demanding job and a growing daughter. In 2001, he played the estranged father of the protagonist, Sara Johnson (Julia Stiles), in the film Save the Last Dance.
In 2006, Kinney directed an 18-minute film called Kubuku Rides (This Is It), which portrays the effects of drug addiction of a mother as seen by her young son. The film is based on the short story by Larry Brown. It is the first film produced by Steppenwolf Films. In 2008, he directed Diminished Capacity, a feature film with a big Steppenwolf presence, based on the Sherwood Kiraly novel of that name.
For television, in 2008, Kinney was Deputy Attorney General Zach Williams in Canterbury's Law, a short-lived Fox series. In 2009, he played Sergeant Harvey Brown in the ABC series The Unusuals, and in the same year, he had a recurring role as Special Agent Sam Bosco on the hit CBS series The Mentalist.
2010 saw a pilot for a CBS drama called The Line, starring Dylan Walsh as ATF Agent Donovan with Kinney as a complex criminal, Alex Gunderson, that Donovan is hunting. The series was to be based on a novel by Robert Gregory Browne called Kiss Her Goodbye. (Browne said that the show was tentatively called ATF.[7]) In 2011 Kinney had a recurring role in the North American adaptation of Being Human as Heggemann, an 1,100-year-old Dutch vampire. In April 2012 he starred in the CBS police procedural drama NYC 22 as Field Training Officer Daniel "Yoda" Dean. However, after four episodes NYC 22 was axed. Kinney also guest starred as Salvatore Amato, a member of a Chicago crime family, in the new Fox drama The Mob Doctor premiering in September 2012.[8]
Kinney was cast as a series regular on ABC drama series Black Box opposite Kelly Reilly and Vanessa Redgrave, set to air on ABC in 2014.[9]
From 2016 to 2023, Kinney has played Hall, a recurring character in the TV series Billions. In 2019, Terry was cast in the Shonda Rhimes mini-series Inventing Anna alongside Julia Garner, Laverne Cox, and Anna Chlumsky.[10] The series, which depicts Instagram-famous scam artist Anna Sorokin, premiered on Netflix in 2022.

Early life
Family background
Terry Kinney was born on January 29, 1954, in Lincoln, Illinois.[10] He is the son of Elizabeth L. Kinney (née Eimer), a telephone operator, and Kenneth C. Kinney, a tractor company supervisor.[10] Kinney developed an early interest in acting while growing up in Lincoln.[11]Education
Terry Kinney attended Illinois State University as an undergraduate in the early 1970s, where he majored in theater.[12][13] At the university, Kinney met fellow theater student Jeff Perry. Through Perry, who knew Gary Sinise from high school, Kinney connected with Sinise. Their collaboration began in 1974 with a production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, exploring ensemble techniques that would influence their future work.[14][12] He participated in various university productions, including roles that emphasized physical and improvisational elements, such as portraying a sloth in instructor Jean Scharfenberg's class, which helped develop his skills in ensemble acting under faculty like Don LaCasse and John Kirk.[12] Kinney graduated from Illinois State University in 1976 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in theater.[12][15] Immediately following graduation, he decided to pursue a professional career in theater by relocating to Chicago, where he could build on the collaborative foundations established during his studies.[16][17]Theatre career
Acting roles
Terry Kinney co-founded the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 1974 alongside Gary Sinise and Jeff Perry in Chicago, establishing an ensemble-based approach that emphasized intense, collaborative acting styles.[18] As a core ensemble member, Kinney contributed to the company's early development through numerous stage performances that showcased his ability to portray nuanced, psychologically complex characters within group dynamics.[1] One of Kinney's breakthrough roles came in the Steppenwolf production of Lanford Wilson's Balm in Gilead, which originated in Chicago in 1980 before transferring off-Broadway to Circle Repertory Theatre in 1984.[19] In this sprawling ensemble piece set in a seedy all-night diner, Kinney portrayed Fick, a jittery, multifaceted patron whose erratic behavior and interactions highlighted the play's themes of urban desperation and fleeting human connections.[20] The production earned acclaim for its raw energy and received an Obie Award for ensemble performance, underscoring Kinney's pivotal role in elevating Steppenwolf's national profile.[21] Kinney appeared on Broadway in the 1990 transfer of Steppenwolf's adaptation of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, directed by Frank Galati.[22] He embodied the ex-preacher Jim Casy, a charismatic yet tormented figure whose moral awakening drives the Joad family's odyssey, earning him a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Play.[18] The role exemplified Kinney's strength in ensemble theater, where his grounded intensity complemented the production's epic scope and innovative staging.[23] Kinney later took on the role of the enigmatic, troubled son Tilden in the 1996 revival of Sam Shepard's Buried Child, directed by Gary Sinise at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.[24] His portrayal captured Tilden's disoriented vulnerability and haunting family secrets, contributing to the production's success in a Steppenwolf-led transfer that ran for nearly three months.[25] During a performance, Kinney experienced a severe onstage panic attack, which led to a temporary hiatus from stage acting until 2002.[26] Beyond Steppenwolf, Kinney appeared in regional and Broadway productions that further demonstrated his range, often in works exploring American identity and dysfunction. His stage work consistently prioritized collective storytelling over individual stardom, reinforcing his foundational influence on contemporary ensemble theater.[27]Directing work
Terry Kinney's directing career at Steppenwolf Theatre Company, which he co-founded in 1974, began in the late 1970s and emphasized ensemble collaboration to bring raw emotional depth to character-driven narratives. His early work included the 1981 production of Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, where he harnessed the company's tight-knit group dynamic to explore themes of friendship and hardship among migrant workers.[28] In the 1990s, Kinney directed adaptations like Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange in 1994, transforming the dystopian novel into a visceral stage experience through innovative staging and intense performer interactions.[29] He followed this with a revival of Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire in 1997, focusing on psychological tension and Southern Gothic atmosphere to highlight the play's exploration of desire and delusion.[30] Kinney's later directorial efforts expanded beyond Steppenwolf while maintaining a commitment to American plays that probe interpersonal complexities. In 2003, he helmed Richard Greenberg's The Violet Hour at Steppenwolf, blending metaphysical elements with sharp dialogue to examine creativity and regret in early 20th-century New York.[31] His 2008 Broadway production of Neil LaBute's reasons to be pretty captured the playwright's incisive look at modern relationships, earning praise for its unflinching portrayal of everyday insecurities and miscommunications.[32] Returning to Steppenwolf in 2015, Kinney directed Frank Galati's adaptation of John Steinbeck's East of Eden, emphasizing familial rivalries and moral ambiguity through a mythic lens that drew on the company's strengths in collective storytelling.[33] In 2023, he directed Kate Arrington's Another Marriage at Steppenwolf.[34] Kinney has directed numerous theater productions, predominantly character-driven American works that prioritize emotional authenticity over spectacle.[35] His approach centers on actor collaboration, fostering trust within ensembles to elicit honest, raw performances that mirror real-life intensity, a method informed by his own extensive acting background in the troupe.[36] This style has been instrumental in Steppenwolf's reputation for gritty, immersive theater, as seen in pieces like Of Mice and Men where performers co-create the emotional core of the narrative.[1]Screen career
Film roles
Kinney's film career gained prominence in the early 1990s following his foundational work in theater with the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, where he co-founded the ensemble in 1974.[1] He had appeared in earlier films in smaller roles starting from the late 1970s. One of his early notable film roles was as John Cameron, a settler and militia member in the colonial frontier, in Michael Mann's historical epic The Last of the Mohicans (1992), portraying a figure caught in the tensions of the French and Indian War.[37] Kinney followed with a notable supporting role as Lamar Quinn, a junior lawyer and mentor figure at a secretive Memphis law firm, in Sydney Pollack's legal thriller The Firm (1993), starring Tom Cruise as the ambitious newcomer Mitch McDeere.[38] In the neo-noir mystery Devil in a Blue Dress (1995), directed by Carl Franklin, he played Todd Carter, a politically ambitious mayoral candidate entangled in a web of Los Angeles corruption during the 1940s.[39] Kinney took on the antagonistic role of Ralph Ferguson, a brutal prison guard at a reformatory, in Barry Levinson's drama Sleepers (1996), contributing to the film's exploration of childhood trauma and vengeance.[40] He portrayed the empathetic father Roy Johnson, a widowed jazz musician supporting his daughter's dreams amid racial and social challenges, in the dance drama Save the Last Dance (2001), directed by Thomas Carter, marking one of his more prominent leading supporting roles.[41] Later credits include Dr. Page, a psychiatrist treating a patient's mental health crisis, in Adam Salky's indie drama I Smile Back (2015), opposite Sarah Silverman.[42] More recent films include Ralph, a CIA operative, in Mile 22 (2018); Detective Norman Deesing in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019); and Captain Carl Farris in The Little Things (2021).[4] Throughout his career, Kinney has amassed over 50 feature film credits, frequently embodying authoritative yet compassionate characters such as legal professionals, parental guides, and institutional figures that anchor narratives of moral complexity and personal growth.[4]Television roles
Kinney first gained significant recognition on television for his portrayal of Tim McManus, the dedicated unit manager of the experimental Emerald City pod in the HBO prison drama Oz, a role he played across all 56 episodes from 1997 to 2003.[43] As McManus, Kinney depicted a principled yet beleaguered administrator navigating the brutal power struggles and ethical dilemmas within the Oswald State Correctional Facility, embodying the institutional tensions central to the series' exploration of incarceration and authority.[44] His performance highlighted the character's internal conflicts, including romantic entanglements and clashes with prison leadership, contributing to Oz's reputation for raw, serialized storytelling about systemic corruption.[45] He also briefly directed two episodes of Oz during his tenure as McManus, blending his acting and behind-the-scenes contributions to the series.[1] Earlier in his career, Kinney appeared in guest roles that showcased his ability to portray authoritative figures in procedural dramas. In 1986, he played Assistant State Attorney William Pepin in the Miami Vice episode "The Good Collar," assisting in a high-stakes investigation involving a teenage drug lord.[46] He followed this with a recurring role as Steve Woodman in thirtysomething from 1987 to 1989, appearing in seven episodes as a friend of the main ensemble, adding depth to the show's examination of interpersonal and professional power dynamics in young adulthood.[47] Kinney continued to take on recurring and guest parts in ensemble police procedurals, often as institutional leaders. In 2009, he portrayed Sergeant Harvey Brown, the no-nonsense commander of the 2nd Precinct's detective squad, in all 10 episodes of ABC's The Unusuals, where his character oversaw eccentric investigators amid unusual cases.[48] Three years later, in 2012, he played Sergeant Daniel "Yoda" Dean, a veteran training officer guiding rookies through New York City's challenges, in the CBS series NYC 22, appearing in 13 episodes before the show's cancellation.[49] These roles underscored Kinney's affinity for characters embedded in hierarchical structures, reflecting themes of mentorship and institutional friction. In more recent years, Kinney has sustained visibility in prestige cable and streaming dramas. From 2016 to 2023, he recurred as Hall, the loyal fixer and head of security for hedge fund magnate Bobby Axelrod, in 34 episodes of Showtime's Billions, portraying a steadfast operative in the high-finance world's cutthroat power plays.[50] In 2022, he appeared as Barry, a seasoned magazine editor in the newsroom ensemble, in the Netflix miniseries Inventing Anna, contributing to the narrative's dissection of media influence and elite deception across multiple episodes. That year, he also played Jasper Winslow, a suspicious neighbor, in 7 episodes of Netflix's The Watcher. In 2023, Kinney portrayed Albanian mob boss Toma Kostia in the FX miniseries Justified: City Primeval.[4] Overall, Kinney's television career encompasses more than 25 credits, predominantly in dramatic series that probe authority, loyalty, and systemic pressures.[4]Directing credits
