 D.B. Sweeney mini-bio: Daniel Bernard (D.B.) Sweeney was born November 14, 1961, in Shoreham,
New York. He has two sisters and one brother. Before he thought about
acting he wanted to be a professional baseball player, but a motorcycle
accident ended that dream. He graduated from Tulane University. He has
made four theater appearances on both Broadway and in L.A. productions.
He used the name Danny Sweeney at the beginning of his acting career, but
since there was another actor with that name on the SAG/AFTRA
productions, he had to change his name, and chose D.B. Sweeney. He first
started out with small roles, gradually increasing the size of his parts
as he began appearing in mini-series and TV shows. He has been a voice
for two Disney children movies. His love of baseball did land him two
roles, playing Shoeless Joe Jackson in Eight Men Out (1988) and a
baseball coach in Hard Ball (2001). He has appeared in science-fiction
movies including Fire in the Sky (1993) and he appealed to female fans in
the romantic The Cutting Edge (1992), in which he played an ex-hockey
layer turned figure skater. That role led to his playing hockey in
celebrity games. Recently he has moved from actor to writer/director with
his film _Dirt Nap (2006/II)_ , which has been a big hit at film
festivals. He is married and has one child.
