About
Boris McGiver is an American actor born on January 23, 1962, in Cobleskill, New York. Of Irish and Ukrainian descent, he is the second youngest of ten children born to actor John McGiver and his wife, Ruth Schmigelsky McGiver.
Despite coming from an acting family, McGiver did not initially pursue the profession with enthusiasm. He has spoken openly about his reluctance, explaining that his father's constant work to support ten children left him with a negative association between acting and absence rather than artistry. It was only later that he came to recognize the craft on its own terms.
McGiver's Broadway career spans the years 2009 to 2011 and includes two notable productions. He appeared in War Horse, the acclaimed stage production, as well as the play Desire Under the Elms.
Beyond the stage, McGiver has built a substantial screen career. He is recognized for his work in the film Lincoln and the television series House of Cards. Additional screen credits include The Wire, Killing Kennedy, and Person of Interest.
