Some actors have such defining traits that they seem to have "leading man" written all over them, while others, like TerryKinney, succeed with an uncanny ability to drastically alter their appearance at the drop of a hat.
Kinney, of course, had aspirations beyond regional theater, and, in 1986, made his film debut with a small part in the romantic comedy Seven Minutes in Heaven.
Kinney frequently balanced his role on this series with a number of feature performances, including such films as The Young Girl and the Monsoon (1999, his second lead), Luminous Motion (1998), and The House of Mirth (2000).
Kinney directed "And a Nightingale Sang" in 1981 and Kinney starred in "Orphans" (1984), both of which were later produced in NYC.
Kinney had one of his best chances the next year in Sydney Pollock's "The Firm", in which he was the younger partner who was supposed to look out after Tom Cruise.
Kinney had an auspicious TV debut in the miniseries "Murder Ordained" (CBS, 1987), as a charismatic minister who begins an affair with JoBeth Williams and then convinces her they should each murder their spouses so they can be together.
