O'Neill, a native of Youngstown, Ohio, became intrigued with acting when he was teaching sixth grade and taking theater classes at Youngstown State University in his spare time.

Seven years later, O'Neill decided to pursue acting as a profession, so he moved to New York and got a job as a bus boy. His first break came when he was understudying the lead in the Broadway play "Knockout." True to theatrical legend, the lead left the show, the understudy took over the role and the rest is history.

His other stage credits include appearances off-Broadway and in regional productions of "The Front Page," "A Street Car Named Desire" and "Of Mice and Men."

On film, O'Neill co-starred in the Amblin Entertainment film "Little Giants," along with Rick Moranis; starred with Nick Nolte in "Blue Chips;" and was featured in "Wayne's World" and "Wayne's World II." He has also appeared in "Cruising," "Dogs of War," "Disorganized Crime," "K-9," "Sibling Rivalry" and in the title role in "Dutch." Recently, O'Neill starred in the Tiffany Theater's production of David Mamet's play "Lakeboat."

For her portrayal of Peg, Ms. Sagal was nominated as best lead actress in a comedy series for both a Golden Globe (1990) and an American Comedy Award (1990 and 1992). Viewers also know her for her critically acclaimed portrayal of Mary Tyler Moore's hard-bitten co-worker in the series "Mary." She also starred in the motion pictures-for-television "Trail of Tears" and "She Says She's Innocent."

In feature films, Ms. Sagal has appeared in Vista Films' "Maid to Order," and with Diane Keaton in the Touchstone feature "The Good Mother."

Ms. Sagal was born into a show business family and grew up in Los Angeles and New York. Her father was the noted director Boris Sagal and her younger twin sisters, Liz and Jean Sagal, starred in the television series "Double Trouble."

A versatile performer, Ms. Sagal is a critically acclaimed singer/songwriter who began singing at age five. She worked as a back-up singer for Bob Dylan, Etta James and Olivia Newton-John and performed with Bette Midler as one of the flamboyant "Harlettes," a group she describes as "nasty, flashy and trashy."

Ms. Sagal released her first CD, "Well" on Virgin Records in 1995. The powerfully constructed album, which she co-wrote, derives inspiration from her own passionate experiences. She continues to perform in nightclubs throughout the Los Angeles area.

Ms. Sagal and her husband, Jack White, reside in Los Angeles with their daughter and new baby boy.
