Christopher McDonald was born in New York on February 15, 1955. His mother, Patricia, trained nursing staff and worked as a real estate agent. My father also worked as a teacher. There were five children in the family. The future actor spent his childhood in the suburbs of Romulus, near New York. Chris graduated from New York’s Hobart College, where he was an active member of the student “Greek” fraternity “Kappa Alpha”.
Christopher’s peculiar appearance often prompted directors to let him play arrogant, pompous, negative characters.
McDonald has done a lot of filming, with most of his supporting roles or just episodic. Viewers know him from Thelma and Louise (1991), Grumpy Old Men (1993), Quiz Show (1994), Flubber (1997), The Faculty (1998), The Perfect Storm (2000), House Arrest (1996), Dirty Work (1998), Flubber(1997), The Flubber(1998), The Faculty(1998), The Perfect Storm (The Perfect Storm), The House Arrest (1996), The Dirty Worker(1998), The American Dreams 2: Flebrows (2005), 5 Pis of the Golden Island, 2004) and the Milebres (The Golden Island, 5).
A special work of Chris - the role in the film version of "Leave it to Beaver", where the actor played Ward Cleaver, and the film "61" - the role of baseball commentator Mel Allen. In 1994, MacDonald appeared in the image of a Russian mafia in the action movie “The Speed of Fall”. In this film, he starred with Charlie Shinn. He was also successful with paintings such as
film "Fair Game" "Schizo," "Skull."
In addition to recurring roles in Family Law, North Shore and Veronica's Closet, MacDonald has also starred in Cheers, Riptide, Knight Rider, Las Vegas and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Chrisofer has a very pleasant voice and expressive diction. Therefore, the actor is often invited to “voice”. Determined government agent Kent Mansley in the animated film “Steel giant” (1999) voiced it Christopher. In the cartoon “Superman” McDonald got the role of the father of the main character. As the actor himself admitted, he loves to voice good characters from cartoons. They make you forget about the images of those villains, whom he often has to play in the movies.
Fans of Chris also remember him for the video of Peter Gabriel for the song “The Barry Williams Show”.
Chris McDonald and his wife Leupe Gidley have four children. /
