“Ey boy. Whadda you think yer doin’ with this car?” Even with a whopping nine nominations at the 62nd Academy Awards in 1990, it seems “Trooper 1” didn’t quite make the shortlist for best supporting actor. Nevertheless, playing across Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy, McKinnon could have had it worse for his first credited role. With just over a mi...
It seems McKinnon’s time as Trooper 1 paid off a few short years later when he was cast as the bumbling small-town deputy in Steven King’s overlooked gem, Needful Things, and this time with a first and last name to boot! Playing alongside sheriff Ed Harris, McKinnon wasn’t in bad company as he struggled to maintain order in a small New England town...
Okay, he wasn’t actually on Apollo 13, but everyone remembers the motley crew of Houston eggheads who used their scientific superpowers to bring Tom Hanks home safe, right? And who didn’t memorize McKinnon’s line about the “free return trajectory option?” Okay, maybe that last one’s a long shot, but as the only guy in the control room with a plaid ...

After such an epic, old-timey b...
In what could be considered his breakout role, Deadwood creator David Milch finally gave McKinnon his chance to shine as the kindhearted frontier reverend, H.W. Smith, who’s never short on funeral work as the ballsy pioneers of 19th-century Dakota territory drop like flies over the course of season one. After slowly descending into madness, Deadwoo...
Yes, Sandra Bullock was without a doubt the shining star in this saccharine dose of feel-good Hollywood fare, but how many people can say they got their buns slapped by an Oscar-winning actress? While we can’t attest to his private life, McKinnon’s Coach Cotton got to enjoy a love tap from Ms. Bullock as he trained her adopted son from the wrong si...
If you haven’t seen Take Shelter, Writer-Director Jeff Nichols slow-burning masterpiece of psychological terror, run to your local home-video store immediately. Of course, if you no longer have a local home-video store, you can probably still check and see if it’s available for online streaming. The point is that this international festival hit is ...
Ray McKinnon, the actor, had a big year in 2011, scoring credits in five feature films and television series. Admittedly, playing Uncle Wes Warnicker in the remake of Footloose isn’t exactly a claim to fame, but as far as acting goes, it’s a paycheck, right?
Scoring another season-long supporting role in FX’s highest-rated original series, Sons of Anarchy, McKinnon played the manipulative, sadistic Assistant U.S. Attorney who’s hell bent on taking down everybody’s favorite bad-boy bikers. While perhaps lacking the subtle dramatic arc of his previous television role as Reverend H.W. Smith, McKinnon was ...
While we can hope that director Harry Thomason’s critically panned Hank Williams biopic won’t be the last ride for Ray McKinnon, actor, it was his last role before switching focus to Rectify. With a brief, supporting role in the film’s first minutes, we can safely say that over 25 years as a working actor, Ray McKinnon has stayed true to his journe...
