==Biography==
==Biography==
===Early life===
Daly, an [[Irish American]], was born in [[New York City]],<ref>[http://www.broadway.com/gen/Buzz_Story.aspx?ci=526985 David Drake interview with Tim Daly for Broadway.com]</ref> <ref>[http://www.filmreference.com/film/75/Timothy-Daly.html Timothy Daly Biography on Filmreference]</ref> the only son and youngest child of actor [[James Daly (actor)|James Daly]] and actress Hope Newell. He is a younger brother of actress [[Tyne Daly]], who is 10 years his senior, and is a brother-in-law of television and film composer [[Mark Snow]].<ref>[http://music.yahoo.com/ar-6313742-bio--Mark-Snow Mark Snow biography on Yahoo! Music]</ref> He is also related to former game show host and newsman [[John Charles Daly]]. He has two other sisters, Mary Glynn (Snow's wife)<ref>[http://www.ascap.com/filmtv/snow.html Mark Snow biography on ASCAP]</ref> and Pegeen Michael. He attended [[The Putney School]],<ref>[http://www.putneyschool.org/directory/graddiff.htm Putney School, Notable Alumni]</ref> where he started to study acting.


Daly began his professional career while a student at [[Vermont]]'s [[Bennington College]], where he studied theatre and literature, in which he now holds a [[Bachelor of Arts]],<ref>[http://www.bennington.edu/about_notablealumni.asp Bennington College, Selection of Notable Alumni]</ref> and acted in [[summer stock theater|summer stock]]. He graduated from college in 1979 and returned to [[New York]] to continue studying acting and singing.
Wittgenstein was born in [[Vienna]] to the industrialist [[Karl Wittgenstein]]. Two years later, his brother, the future [[philosopher]] [[Ludwig Wittgenstein]] was born. The household was frequently visited by prominent cultural figures, amongst them the [[composer]]s [[Johannes Brahms]], [[Gustav Mahler]] and [[Richard Strauss]], with whom the young Paul played duets.


===Career===
Paul Wittgenstein studied with Malvine Bree and later with a much better known figure, the [[Poland|Polish]] virtuoso [[Theodor Leschetizky]]. He made his public debut in 1913 and some favourable reviews were written about him. The following year, however, [[World War I]] broke out, and he was called up for military service. He was wounded and captured by [[Russia]] during an assault on Poland, and his right arm had to be amputated. During his recovery, he resolved to continue his piano playing career using only his left hand.
Daly debuted on stage when he was seven years old in ''[[Jenny Kissed Me]]'' by [[Jean Kerr]], together with his parents and two sisters. The show also starred [[Sharon Laughlin]] and [[John D. Irving]].


Daly appeared for the first time on TV when he was 10 years in an American Playhouse adaptation of [[An Enemy of the People]] by [[Henrik Ibsen]], which starred his father [[James Daly]]. He dreamed about a sports or music career and also considered becoming a doctor or a lawyer, but finally decided to become an actor. Daly started his professional acting career when he appeared in a 1978 adaptation of [[Peter Schaffer]]'s play [[Equus]].
Following the end of the war, Wittgenstein put this plan into action, studying intensely, arranging pieces for the left hand alone and learning new pieces composed for him by his old teacher [[Josef Labor]] (who was [[blindness|blind]]). Once again he began to give concerts, and became well known and loved. He then approached more famous composers, asking them to write works for him to perform. [[Benjamin Britten]], [[Paul Hindemith]], [[Erich Wolfgang Korngold]], [[Franz Schmidt]], and [[Richard Strauss]] all produced pieces for him. [[Maurice Ravel]] wrote his [[Piano Concerto for the Left Hand (Ravel)|Piano Concerto for the Left Hand]], which became more famous than any of the other compositions that Wittgenstein inspired. [[Sergei Prokofiev]] also wrote a [[piano concerto|concerto]] for him, [[Piano Concerto No. 4 (Prokofiev) | his fourth]]; but Wittgenstein said that he did not understand the piece, and he never played it publicly.


His first leading film role was in the film ''[[Diner (film)|Diner]]'', directed by [[Barry Levinson]], in which he shared screen time with actors including [[Kevin Bacon]] and [[Mickey Rourke]]. Starring roles soon followed in [[Alan Rudolph]]'s feature, ''[[Made in Heaven]]'', the [[American Playhouse]] production of ''The Rise & Rise of Daniel Rocket'', and the [[CBS]] dramatic series, ''Almost Grown'' created by [[David Chase]].
Many of the pieces that Wittgenstein commissioned are still frequently performed today by two-armed pianists; in particular, the Austrian pianist [[Friedrich Wührer]], claiming the composer's sanction but apparently over Wittgenstein's objections, created two-hand arrangements of Franz Schmidt's Wittgenstein-inspired left-hand works [http://hjem.get2net.dk/Brofeldt/Appendix_003_Protest.htm]. Pianists born after Wittgenstein who for one reason or another have lost the use of their right hands, such as [[Leon Fleisher]] and [[João Carlos Martins]], have also played works composed for him.


In theatre he has starred in the [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] production of ''[[Coastal Disturbances]]'' by playwright [[Tina Howe]] (he received a 1987 [[Theatre World Award]] for his performance) opposite [[Annette Bening]], ''[[Oliver, Oliver]]'' at the Manhattan Theatre Club, ''Mass Appeal'' by Bill C. Davis and ''Bus Stop'' by [[William Inge]] at Trinity Square Repertory, ''[[The Glass Menagerie]]'' by [[Tennessee Williams]] (at the Santa Fe Festival Theatre), ''A Knife in the Heart'' and ''A Study in Scarlet'' (at the Williamstown Playhouse) and ''Paris Bound'' (at the Berkshire Theatre Festival).
The Wittgenstein family had converted to Christianity three generations before his birth on the paternal side and two generations before on the maternal side; nonetheless they were of mainly Jewish descent, and under the Nuremberg laws they were classed as Jews. Following the rise of the [[Nazi Party]] and the [[Anschluss|annexation of Austria]], Paul tried to persuade his sisters Helene and Hermine to leave Vienna, but they demurred: they were attached to their homes there, and could not believe such a distinguished family as theirs was in real danger. Ludwig had already been living in England for some years, and [[Margaret Stonborough-Wittgenstein|Margaret (Gretl)]] was married to an American. Paul himself, who was no longer permitted to perform in public concerts under the Nazis, departed for the [[United States]] in 1938. From there he and Gretl, with some assistance from Ludwig (who acquired British nationality in 1939), managed to use family finances (mostly held abroad) and legal connections to attain non-Jewish status for their sisters.
In 2006 Daly returned to [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] when he appeared on stage opposite [[David Schwimmer]] and [[Željko Ivanek]] in the Broadway revival of ''[[The Caine Mutiny Court Martial]]''.<ref>[http://www.playbill.com/news/article/97659.html Tim Daly joins cast of Broadway's The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial]</ref>


Daly is well known for his role as straight-laced pilot Joe Hackett on the long-running [[NBC]] sitcom ''[[Wings (TV series)|Wings]]''. He beat [[Kevin Conroy]] for the part. Daly made several appearances on ''[[The Sopranos]]'' as [[List of characters from The Sopranos – Friends and Family#J.T. Dolan|J.T. Dolan]], an old friend of [[Christopher Moltisanti]] ([[Michael Imperioli]]). Daly received a 2007 [[Emmy]] nomination for his work on the series.
The Wittgenstein family finances employed supposedly consisted of the voluntary surrender of all properties and assets in Germany and occupied lands with a total value of about $6 billion US dollars at the time, which may have been the largest private fortune in Europe. Essentially all family assets were surrendered to the Nazis in return for protection afforded the two sisters under exceptional interpretations of racial law, allowing them to continue to live in their family palace in Vienna.


He appeared on the midseason [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] crime series ''[[Eyes (TV series)|Eyes]]'', which got good reviews but was canceled after only five episodes.
Paul became an American citizen in 1946, and spent the rest of his life in the United States, where he did a good deal of teaching as well as playing. He died in [[New York City]] in 1961.


==Other==
==''Superman''==
Tim Daly was very famous for his role as [[Superman]] in ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]''. Coincidentally, both Daly and Conroy have worked with each other in a few crossover episodes. Daly was unable to return as Superman in ''[[Justice League (animated series)|Justice League]]'' (the role then went to actor [[George Newbern]]), as he was already under contract to star in a remake of the 1960s TV drama ''[[The Fugitive (TV series)|The Fugitive]]'', a remake that aired for only one season (2000–2001). He reprised his role as Superman in the 2002 video game ''[[Superman: Shadow of Apokolips]]'' and the 2006 direct-to-video release ''[[Superman: Brainiac Attacks]]''.
[[John Barchilon]] wrote a [[novel]] based on Wittgenstein's life called ''The Crown Prince''.


===Other===
An episode of the longrunning seriocomic series [[M*A*S*H (TV series)|M*A*S*H]], "Morale Victory", featured James Stephens as a drafted concert pianist who loses the use of his right hand in combat. Charles Winchester ([[David Ogden Stiers]]) provides him with the sheet music for [[Piano Concerto for the Left Hand (Ravel)|Ravel's ''Concerto for the Left Hand'']], tells him Wittgenstein's story, and encourages him not to abandon his musical gift.
In 2006, Daly played the role of [[Nick Cavanaugh]] on the new [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] drama ''[[The Nine (TV series)|The Nine]]''. Starting May 3, 2007, Daly began playing a new love interest for [[Kate Walsh (actor)|Kate Walsh]] ([[Addison Montgomery]]) on the new ''[[Grey's Anatomy]]'' spinoff, ''[[Private Practice]]''.

In 1997 he and [[J. Todd Harris]] formed the [[Daly-Harris Productions]] company,<ref>[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1346.html?categoryid=13&cs=1 Daly-Harris Prods forming announcement in Variety]</ref> through which he produced such movies as: ''[[Execution of Justice]]'' (1999) (TV), ''[[Urbania]]'' (2000) and ''[[Tick Tock]]'' (2000).

Daly is an owner of [[Red House Entertainment]] production company, which he co-founded with wife [[Amy Van Nostrand]] and [[Steve Burleigh]]. Movies produced through the company include [[Peabody Award]] and [[Humanitas Prize]] winning ''[[Edge of America]]'' and Daly's directing debut, the independent film ''[[Bereft]]''.

Daly and his wife have also created Wandering Park Productions, a company designed to develop and produce a variety of film, television and theater projects. The company producing credits include the critically acclaimed and award winning [[Los Angeles]] premiere of [[Vincent Cardinal|Vincent Cardinal's]] play ''[[A Colorado Catechism]]'', starring both Daly and his wife. The play received outstanding reviews and earned both Daly and his wife the DramaLogue Awards for Best Actor and Best Actress.

Daly co-produced a documentary ''[[PoliWood]]'' about the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions. The documentary, directed by [[Barry Levinson]] is scheduled for release in 2009.

He may be best known for his television role as Joe Hackett on the long-running NBC sitcom Wings. He is currently starring as Peter Wilder on the Grey's Anatomy spin-off, Private Practice.

Biography

Early life

Daly, an Irish American, was born in New York City,[1] [2] the only son and youngest child of actor James Daly and actress Hope Newell. He is a younger brother of actress Tyne Daly, who is 10 years his senior, and is a brother-in-law of television and film composer Mark Snow.[3] He is also related to former game show host and newsman John Charles Daly. He has two other sisters, Mary Glynn (Snow's wife)[4] and Pegeen Michael. He attended The Putney School,[5] where he started to study acting.

Daly began his professional career while a student at Vermont's Bennington College, where he studied theatre and literature, in which he now holds a Bachelor of Arts,[6] and acted in summer stock. He graduated from college in 1979 and returned to New York to continue studying acting and singing.

Career

Daly debuted on stage when he was seven years old in Jenny Kissed Me by Jean Kerr, together with his parents and two sisters. The show also starred Sharon Laughlin and John D. Irving.

Daly appeared for the first time on TV when he was 10 years in an American Playhouse adaptation of An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen, which starred his father James Daly. He dreamed about a sports or music career and also considered becoming a doctor or a lawyer, but finally decided to become an actor. Daly started his professional acting career when he appeared in a 1978 adaptation of Peter Schaffer's play Equus.

His first leading film role was in the film Diner, directed by Barry Levinson, in which he shared screen time with actors including Kevin Bacon and Mickey Rourke. Starring roles soon followed in Alan Rudolph's feature, Made in Heaven, the American Playhouse production of The Rise & Rise of Daniel Rocket, and the CBS dramatic series, Almost Grown created by David Chase.

In theatre he has starred in the Broadway production of Coastal Disturbances by playwright Tina Howe (he received a 1987 Theatre World Award for his performance) opposite Annette Bening, Oliver, Oliver at the Manhattan Theatre Club, Mass Appeal by Bill C. Davis and Bus Stop by William Inge at Trinity Square Repertory, The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams (at the Santa Fe Festival Theatre), A Knife in the Heart and A Study in Scarlet (at the Williamstown Playhouse) and Paris Bound (at the Berkshire Theatre Festival). In 2006 Daly returned to Broadway when he appeared on stage opposite David Schwimmer and Željko Ivanek in the Broadway revival of The Caine Mutiny Court Martial.[7]

Daly is well known for his role as straight-laced pilot Joe Hackett on the long-running NBC sitcom Wings. He beat Kevin Conroy for the part. Daly made several appearances on The Sopranos as J.T. Dolan, an old friend of Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli). Daly received a 2007 Emmy nomination for his work on the series.

He appeared on the midseason ABC crime series Eyes, which got good reviews but was canceled after only five episodes.

Superman

Tim Daly was very famous for his role as Superman in Superman: The Animated Series. Coincidentally, both Daly and Conroy have worked with each other in a few crossover episodes. Daly was unable to return as Superman in Justice League (the role then went to actor George Newbern), as he was already under contract to star in a remake of the 1960s TV drama The Fugitive, a remake that aired for only one season (2000–2001). He reprised his role as Superman in the 2002 video game Superman: Shadow of Apokolips and the 2006 direct-to-video release Superman: Brainiac Attacks.

Other

In 2006, Daly played the role of Nick Cavanaugh on the new ABC drama The Nine. Starting May 3, 2007, Daly began playing a new love interest for Kate Walsh (Addison Montgomery) on the new Grey's Anatomy spinoff, Private Practice.

In 1997 he and J. Todd Harris formed the Daly-Harris Productions company,[8] through which he produced such movies as: Execution of Justice (1999) (TV), Urbania (2000) and Tick Tock (2000).

Daly is an owner of Red House Entertainment production company, which he co-founded with wife Amy Van Nostrand and Steve Burleigh. Movies produced through the company include Peabody Award and Humanitas Prize winning Edge of America and Daly's directing debut, the independent film Bereft.

Daly and his wife have also created Wandering Park Productions, a company designed to develop and produce a variety of film, television and theater projects. The company producing credits include the critically acclaimed and award winning Los Angeles premiere of Vincent Cardinal's play A Colorado Catechism, starring both Daly and his wife. The play received outstanding reviews and earned both Daly and his wife the DramaLogue Awards for Best Actor and Best Actress.

Daly co-produced a documentary PoliWood about the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions. The documentary, directed by Barry Levinson is scheduled for release in 2009.

Non-profit work

Tim Daly is an activist in various liberal political and social causes. In 2004 he became active in the presidential politics of the Democratic Party by joining "John Kerry for President," an organization dedicated to John Kerry's presidential candidacy for the 2004 election.[9]

In the beginning of 2007, Daly became a member of The Creative Coalition (TCC), a nonprofit, (501(c)(3)) nonpartisan, politically-active group formed of members of the American film entertainment industry. As a member of TCC Daly has joined the National Task Force on Children's Safety, a program co-founded by The Creative Coalition and Safety4Kids, "the first children's media brand focused solely on safety and health." According to the program website: "The Task Force is the first critical step in creating a national dialogue on safety and media literacy and determining next steps to ensure that the issues are prioritized in the minds of parents, educators and legislators."[10] "The Task Force is dedicated to awareness, education and lasting change by impacting national policy on safety education and media literacy."[11] In August 2007 Tim Daly became one of the three chairs for the organization's activity at the 2008 Democratic and Republican conventions.[12] Along with actress Kerry Washington and writer/director Sue Kramer, Tim Daly was responsible for leading "TCC's Convention efforts designed to bring issues of importance to the forefront of the 2008 presidential campaign."[13] In November 2007, Tim Daly interviewed senator John Edwards, one of the Democratic president candidates.[14]

In June 2008, Tim Daly, together with Chandra Wilson, was named the 2008 ambassador for Lee National Denim Day — a fundraiser for breast cancer, benefiting the Women's Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation.[15] In August 2008, Daly was named co-president of the Creative Coalition, a nonpartisan group that works on issues such as health care reform and arts funding.[16]

Personal life

Daly and his wife, actress Amy Van Nostrand, have two children (son Sam born in 1984, and daughter Emelyn, born in 1989), and have both won DramaLogue Awards for Best Actress and Best Actor in the Coast Playhouse's The Colorado Catechism by Vincent J. Cardinal in Los Angeles. They married on September 18, 1982.
