Daniel Joseph Lauria[1] (born April 12, 1947)[2] is an American actor, who played the role of Jack Arnold in The Wonder Years (1988–1993), Jack Sullivan on Sullivan and Son (2012–2014), and Al Luongo on Pitch (2016–2017).

Early life

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Lauria spent his formative years on the South Shore of Long Island, specifically Suffolk County in the village of Lindenhurst; there, he attended Lindenhurst High School, graduating in 1965.[1] He graduated from Southern Connecticut State University in 1970.[3] A Vietnam War veteran, Lauria served as an officer in the United States Marine Corps from 1970–73.[4]

Career

Lauria's early appearances included roles in episodes of Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Hunter, Growing Pains, L.A. Law and Cagney & Lacey, as well as the films Stakeout (1987) and Another Stakeout (1993).

Lauria is best known for his portrayal of Jack Arnold, the stern, but loving, money-conscious father on the TV series The Wonder Years, which ran from 1988 to 1993. He also played Commanding Officer, USA in 1996's Independence Day and NASA Administrator James Webb in the 1998 TV miniseries From the Earth to the Moon. He has also appeared in a 1997 episode of Boy Meets World, starring Ben Savage, the younger brother of Fred Savage, Lauria's on-screen son in The Wonder Years. He appeared as Coach Hamstrung in The Three Stooges N.Y.U.K. on AMC in 2000. More recently he has appeared as Police Commissioner Eustace Dolan in The Spirit (2008).

Lauria appeared on stage in New York in the summer of 2006 in an off-Broadway production of A Stone Carver by William Mastrosimone with Jim Iorio and Elizabeth Rossa. He also had a small role in a season two episode of Army Wives, as well as a season one episode of The Mentalist. In 2009, Lauria has appeared as General Lee Whitworth, M.D. in Criminal Minds season 4. In late 2009, Lauria returned to the off-Broadway stage, appearing as Jimmy Hoffa in Brian Lee Franklin's Good Bobby, a fictionalized account of Robert F. Kennedy's rise.

In 2010, Lauria appeared as Vince Lombardi in the Broadway play Lombardi.[5] The play received positive reviews, with sportswriter Jim Hague commenting, "Lauria truly becomes Vince Lombardi. You almost forget you're watching an actor. He's Lombardi through and through, down to the wire-framed glasses and intimidating scowl." North Bergen football coach Vince Ascolese, who met Lombardi, commented "I really felt like he was Lombardi. It was uncanny."[6] Lauria's portrayal of Lombardi was used during the NFL on FOX introduction to Super Bowl XLV, where one of the two participating teams was the Green Bay Packers; the team Lombardi coached to victories in the first two Super Bowls in 1967 and 1968. The Packers went on to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in that game.

In 2012, Lauria played the part of Jean Shepherd in the Broadway production of A Christmas Story: The Musical, a role which he reprised off-Broadway at Madison Square Garden in 2013. From 2012 through 2014, he played Jack Sullivan on the Steve Byrne sitcom Sullivan & Son. From 2016 through 2017, he played Al Luongo on the drama series Pitch. In 2021, Lauria starred as a right-wing conspiracy theorist who marries a Russian mail-order bride in Wes Hurley's autobiographical dramedy Potato Dreams of America.[7] In 2024, he played Tip O'Neill in the Ronald Reagan biopic film Reagan.[8]

Lauria served one year as a Department of Veterans Affairs celebrity hospital visitor, during which he toured many VA hospitals, meeting patients.

Personal life

For a relatively brief period (including at least the spring, summer and fall of 1990), Lauria was involved in the last of three "much publicized failed romances" of Growing Pains star Joanna Kerns (all of which took place during the six years following her 1985 divorce).[9][10] Notwithstanding a number of notable professional collaborations (culminating in a joint, 1989 post-Christmas guest spot on Good Morning America),[a] Lauria, as of December 1990, remained unwilling to commit, and—wishing to "avoid a lot of tears"—the pair agreed to a pre-Christmas separation.[13]

Almost exactly one year later, in December 1991, at St. John's Nepomucene Church on East 66th Street in Manhattan, Lauria married Eileen Cregg,[14][15] a "former employee at a New York City radio station."[16] They remained married at least as late as the summer of 2000,[17] but appear to have gotten divorced—or been in the process of obtaining that divorce—by the beginning of 2001.[18][19]

Joanna, who suffered through a string of broken romances following her divorce from director Richard Kerns six years ago, is so determined not to jinx her new relationship that she's keeping mum about the special guy's identity. After much-publicized failed romances with businessman Joerg Fent and actors Bob Ginty and Dan Lauria—all of whom headed for the hills when Kerns began talking marriage—the 38-year-old actress won't reveal anything about her new beau, except to say he's an architect and that she's 'wildly in love' with him. Joanna met her mystery man six months ago, after her romance with Wonder Years star Dan Lauria ended. 'Joanna wanted to get real serious and Dan backed off,' a friend says.

By getting Patchett-Kaufman Entertainment in Culver City, which produces the TV show 'Working Girl,' to spend $100,000 to finance four plays this year, Lauria has accomplished his decade-long dream: that the film and television business invest in Equity-waiver productions to tap theater's pool of writing, directing and acting talent-a minor league system for artists. [...] He enlists support from television colleagues such as Joanna Kerns ('Growing Pains') and Ron Perlman ("Beauty and the Beast"), who read dozens of plays and offer their input. So far, just through word-of-mouth, 67 plays have been submitted since late December. Kearns, a good friend of Lauria's, may direct one.
