Saw Wiki

Sean Patrick Flanery (born October 11, 1965) is an American actor and novelist best known for his roles in The Boondock Saints, The Dead Zone, and The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

He played Bobby Dagen in Saw 3D.

Early Life[]

Sean Patrick Flanery was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and raised in Houston, Texas. His mother, Genie Flanery (née LeDoux), is a real estate broker, while his father, Paul Flanery, is a medical equipment salesman. His ancestry includes Irish, Cajun, and English. After attending Awty International School, Flanery graduated from Dulles High School in Sugar Land and enrolled at the University of St. Thomas in Houston.

Career[]

Flanery started acting in college after joining an acting class to meet a girl he had a crush on. He later moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue his acting career. Since 1988, he has appeared in numerous films, including Powder, Simply Irresistible, and D-Tox. He is best known for playing Connor MacManus in The Boondock Saints and Indiana Jones in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

Furthermore, he appeared on The Dead Zone as Vice President Greg Stillson until its cancellation. In March 2010, he was cast in the lead roles in both the sci-fi horror film Mongolian Death Worm and the seventh installment in the Saw franchise. Flanery also appeared in The Black Keys' music video Howlin' For You. In April 2011, Flanery joined the CBS soap The Young and the Restless as Sam Gibson.

In March 2024, Thunder Road Films, Dragonfly Films, and Impossible Dream Entertainment announced a "reimagining" of The Boondock Saints. Flanery and co-star Norman Reedus would reprise their roles from the first two films and serve as executive producers, although Troy Duffy would not return as director for the third film.

Personal Life[]

Flanery is married to model and actress Lauren Michelle Hill. He is close friends with actor Norman Reedus, with whom he co-starred in The Boondock Saints and its sequel.

Flanery won the 1997 Toyota Pro-Celebrity Race as the celebrity driver at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. The "Alfonso Ribeiro rule" - whereby if a celebrity wins, he must be classified as a professional the next time - forced him to "defend" his title under TGPLB rules, and he won the race in 1998.

Flanery holds a 4th degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which he also teaches. He placed first in the Master 1/ Blue/ Male/ Light division at the 2003 American National IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship and the 2003 Pan Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championship by the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation. Flanery indicated in an interview that, at one point, he considered competing in mixed martial arts, saying: "If it didn't come around so late in my life, that would've 100 percent been my trajectory."

Flanery is a Christian and attributes his role as a father to his convictions in his beliefs, stating: "I meet a lot of friends that they say, 'Well, I don't believe, because I can't explain it.' For me, that's exactly why I believe, because I can't explain it."
