Executive summary: Young Guns Dermot Mulroney is probably still best known for his breakthrough role in the 1988 pretty boy western Young Guns, alongside Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Charlie Sheen. After Young Guns, he appeared in a long series of low-budget, independent, and generally forgettable films. He was in the first mainstream film about AIDS, Longtime Companion, playing the movie's first character to die of the disease. He also played Joseph Gordon-Levitt's father in the 1994 remake of Angels in the Outfield, was Jack Nicholson's son-in-law-to-be in About Schmidt.
Early in his career, Mulroney was a star of cheesy issues-oriented made-for-TV movies, doing his part to scare kids away from teen pregnancy (Daddy), narcotics (The Drug Knot), and incest (Sin of Innocence). The anti-drug flick was directed by Happy Days' Potsie, Anson Williams.
Mulroney plays cello and mandolin in a punk-folk band, The Low and Sweet Orchestra. His brother Kieran plays violin and accordion.
