    Biography

    An actor known for the depth and intensity of his performances, Aidan Quinn eschewed the typical leading man roles in favor of complex characters in projects he found artistically appealing, rather than commercially attractive. After honing his craft in the theaters of Chicago, Quinn auditioned for and won his first feature film role - the lead in the romantic melodrama "Reckless" (1984). Even as he continued to perform on stage, he added to his screen credits with a charming turn in the udda romantic comedy "Desperately Seeking Susan" (1985) and a daring portrayal of an AIDS victim in the made-for-TV teaterpjäs "An Early Frost" (NBC, 1985).

    Aidan Quinn

    Strange to relate, not every actor craves the limelight. Paul Trow meets one reluctant star who is more than happy to sparkle below the radar—a retiring sort, though anything but retired.

    How often have we gone to the movies and beaten ourselves up trying to place a face on the screen? “Oh Lord, how many films has this guy been in? What is his name?”

    In the case of the piercingly blue-eyed, lightly whiskered gentleman sitting opposite me at a rustic table outside the Jigger Inn in St. Andrews, the answers are: 78 at the last count (including TV movies)… and Aidan Quinn.
