BRUCE MCGILL
ACTOR
Since D-Day roared up the Delta House stairs on his Harley-Davidson in Animal House, Bruce McGill has been a memorable screen presence. He has appeared in over 170 films, tv movies and series spanning the last five decades. Throughout his career— from Lincoln to Law Abiding Citizen, from Collateral to My Cousin Vinny, from Miami Vice to MacGyver to The Insider — he has consistently received rave reviews for his stand-out performances, and shows no signs of slowing down.
Some of you may recognize Bruce from his 7 seasons portraying Detective Vince Korsak on TNT's hit series Rizzoli & Isles, with Angie Harmon. In 2021, Bruce was proud to bring American UnderDog, the Kurt Warner story, to the theaters. And as a big fan of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books, Bruce thoroughly enjoyed bringing the new Reacher series to life on Amazon Prime… “it’s always fun playing a really bad guy.” Premiering in April 2023 is the limited series Love & Death, a true crime drama about a love triangle that goes horribly wrong... “Two church going couples, enjoying small town family life in Texas, until somebody picks up an axe.” And watch for Lioness, a new series from Taylor Sheridan coming this year for Paramount+.
As an avid golfer, Bruce’s favorite role to date was playing legendary golfer and bon-vivant Walter Hagen in The Legend of Bagger Vance, directed by Robert Redford.
As a proud and life-long University of Texas Longhorn (“Hook ‘em Horns!”) Bruce was deeply touched to be honored by the UT College of Fine Arts with its highest alumni award, the E. William Doty Distinguished Alumnus Award.
And being a native Texan, Bruce was proud and honored to be inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame in 2010. YeeHaw y’all!.
