His Late Start

The actor had been 40 years old when his career really took off. He also tied the knot with Catherine Rusoff at around the same time. His wife gave birth to their first child thirteen years after that. O’Neill might have gotten his start in the industry relatively late, but he still made waves in Hollywood. Perhaps his late start has something to do with his failure to recognize his famous fan! Unlike him, her career as a performer started when she was still young. She was a household name by the time she was a teen!

After Married… with Children, the actor continued to take on film and TV roles. In the past, he was in The West Wing, The Spanish Prisoner, Wayne’s World, and Wreck-It Ralph. He went on to be a TV fixture once more when he was cast to play Jay Pritchett in Modern Family. The sitcom went on to be a hit and stayed on the air for 11 seasons until it finally came to an end in April 2020. Overall, the show ran for 250 episodes.
