Joe Flaherty

Joe Flaherty began his acting career as a teenager doing children`s theater at the Pittsburgh Playhouse. After a four-year stint in the US Air Force, Flaherty returned home at age 21 to pursue a career as a draftsman, but again gravitated towards performing. His theater work in Pittsburgh earned him a job offer in Chicago with The Second City group where he, along with Harold Ramis and John Candy, helped define Second City`s next generation. He received two Emmy Awards for his work on SCTV, and his role in the film Looking For Miracles also brought him a Gemini Award for Best Actor in a Drama. Joe Flaherty makes his home in Toronto.
