Edward Theodore McClintock (born May 27, 1967) is an American actor. He is best known for his role of Secret Service agent Pete Lattimer on the Syfy series Warehouse 13. McClintock's other television roles include the sitcom Stark Raving Mad and the action thriller Shooter. In 2023, he made his film directorial debut with Miracle at Manchester, in which he also starred.

Early life

[edit]

Edward Theodore McClintock was born on May 27, 1967, in North Canton, Ohio,[1] to Susan[2] and Ted McClintock.[3] After leaving St. Michael's Catholic School in the eighth grade, he attended North Canton Hoover High School, graduating in 1985, where he played football and wrestled.[4][5]

McClintock graduated in 1991 with a degree in communication studies from Wright State University in Dayton, where he wrestled for three seasons. After college, he moved to Los Angeles, worked briefly in corporate insurance for an uncle, and then spent several years as a production assistant before beginning acting classes.[6]

Career

[edit]

McClintock began working regularly in television in the late 1990s, booking guest spots before moving into series-regular roles. One of his earliest starring turns came with the NBC sitcom Stark Raving Mad (1999–2000),[7] which won the 2000 People's Choice Award for Favorite New Television Comedy Series[8] but was canceled after one season.[9]

Throughout the 2000s he alternated between regular or recurring parts and a steady stream of guest appearances on series such as Friends, Sex and the City, Felicity, and The King of Queens.[3] Notable recurring characters included Frank Helm on Desperate Housewives (2006).[10] and Special Agent Tim Sullivan on Bones (2007)[11] During the same period he pursued visual art, designing the cover for Puscifer's album "V" Is for Vagina.[12] By 2009, he had appeared as a lead in five short-lived shows and filmed ten network pilots. Only the tenth would be ordered to series.[12]

McClintock achieved his widest recognition in 2009 when he was cast as Secret Service agent Pete Lattimer on the Syfy series Warehouse 13. His performance on the show was noted for a "goofy charm" that made the character likable.[13] The Los Angeles Times highlighted the series' "flirty fun" tone and credited McClintock's "rugged good looks and crooked smile" with helping to draw record Syfy viewership.[12] McClintock has said he helped shape Pete's backstory by making the character a recovering alcoholic, reflecting his own sobriety and adding depth beneath the humor.[13]

After that series concluded in 2014, McClintock joined the cast of the USA Network thriller Shooter in 2016 as former Marine Jack Payne.[14] He also had a role as the absentee father, Rob, on the Disney+ series The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (2021).[3] In 2019, McClintock had a recurring role as Tony Franzelli, the jailed father of the title character, in the Netflix comedy No Good Nick.[15]

Since 2020, McClintock has appeared in numerous independent, faith-based, and direct-to-video films. In 2023, McClintock made his feature directing debut with the family drama film Miracle at Manchester, in which he portrayed the father of a teenager diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor.[16] In early 2024, McClintock returned to his hometown in Ohio to begin work on a semi-autobiographical film titled Takedown, based on his high school wrestling years and struggles with family issues, which he wrote and directed.[17]

Personal life

[edit]

McClintock married Lynn Sanchez in 2005, and the couple have two sons.[12] He has often spoken of his father Ted as his hero and role model, crediting him for raising him as a single parent and never giving up on him.[16] McClintock's father died in 2022, before the filming of Miracle at Manchester. McClintock dedicated that film to his father's memory, saying his dad was "in every frame of this film."[18]

McClintock has been open about overcoming struggles with alcohol and drug use. In his early thirties, after years of hard partying, he realized "I had taken it too far" and grew tired of constantly apologizing to family and friends. With the support of his sister and parents, he got sober in the early 2000s and refocused on his acting career. During a later period when acting work was scarce, McClintock even applied to join the Los Angeles Police Department as a way to "be of service" to the community and provide for his family, though he ultimately did not become a police officer.
