O’Neill, who was born and raised in Montgomery, lives in California with his wife, Mary O’Keefe O’Neill. The couple has three grown daughters: Ella, Annie and Molly. The O’Neillsfor several years, but the West Coast beckoned, along with the acting opportunities it provides. “Sometimes I look back and I go, ‘Oh, God, it was a career,’” O’Neill says. “That was a little shocking to me. Young actors will say, ‘I’d love to have the career you had.’ I don’t know about that. I don’t know about career. Just get a job.”
