Michael McGlone: actor/musician/writer

Getting to know Michael over the last few months has been a real pleasure us. A gifted actor and very talented singer/songwriter, Michael and Rob's music collaboration began when after listening to so some of Michael's previous work, Rob had an unfinished song that he thought might be something that Michael could relate to. Michael liked the song idea, left the studio with a cd of it, and called 3 hours later to say that he had finished the song complete with lyric and a new bridge! While the work on that song continued the two began collaborating on some more material which will continue in both New York City, where Mr. McGlone resides, and Pittsburgh.

 

Michael McGlone

While in Pittsburgh filming his new series, The Kill Point, for SpikeTV, which premiered, July 22nd, Michael McGlone could be found twice weekly at MSS keeping up with his voice over work in New York. From this was born a collaboration with Studio owner Rob Deaner,

"Market Street Sound is an ideal place...not alone for the marvelous men who run it, Rob Deaner and Dan Ferraro, but also because, as a Musician, you can generally feel where Music lives...and at Market Street Sound, it's made a permanent home."

Michael McGlone, the actor, whom many recognize from his acclaimed performances in The Brothers McMullen and She's the One, is also a recording artist and singer/songwriter, with two albums to his credit, Hero and To Be Down. A novelist, short story author, and poet as well, Michael McGlone has been called a Renaissance Man..."for whom the act of creating is as natural and necessary as breathing." To learn more, listen to choice tracks of his Music, and/or hear readings of his poetry and other writings, visit www.michaelmcglone.com

As an actor: Michael made his debut in the critically acclaimed independent film "The Brothers McMullen" Michael has also appeared in "She's the One", HBO's "Subway Stories: Love on the A train", "The Bone Collector" (with Denzel Washington), and Paramount Pictures' "Hard Ball". In a return to the role of Queens gangster, which he performed in "One Tough Cop," Michael played Carmen Donnelly in Bob Giraldi's critically acclaimed "Dinner Rush" (with Danny Aiello). Notable television appearances include a recurring role on CBS's "That's Life," and a guest star on the dramatic series HACK (with David Morse). The episode was the highest rated in the show's history. More recently, in cameo, Michael can be seen in The War Within, a drama examining terroristic impulses, set in NY and NJ. Premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, it was lauded as one of the finest and most important films of the season. 2006 releases include the independent feature film Fortunes (starring McGlone, James Urbaniak, and Tony Hale), and Bad City, a Chicago-based drama in which the career of an emerging politician (played by McGlone) is threatened by unforeseen circumstances embroiling him in the ever nefarious elements of Chicago's notorious Southside.

As a recording artist: Following the critically acclaimed and popular success of his first, self-produced, album, HERO, Michael McGlone's second, To Be Down, has met with even greater response. To this time, only a limited edition of To Be Down has been made available...but, with his third record emerging, Michael looks forward to its more elaborate release...
