Alan Ruck was born to a father who worked for a pharmaceutical company, and a mother who was a schoolteacher. He grew up in Ohio where he went to the Parma Senior High School, and later studied drama at the University of Illinois, graduating in 1979.
Ruck had his on-screen debut in 1983 in Rick Rosenthal’s thriller called “Bad Boys” starring Sean Penn and Reni Santoni. In 1985, he made his Broadway debut alongside Matthew Broderick in Neil Simon’s “Biloxi Blues”, and then he and Broderick teamed up again in John Hughes’ Golden Globe-nominated comedy “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” (1986). The movie grossed over $70 million at the box office, and the role of Ferris Bueller’s hypochondriac best friend gained Ruck a lot of popularity as well as plenty of money. By the end of the ‘80s, Alan had appeared in the Primetime Emmy Award-winning action-drama called “Shooter” (1988), and in the comedy “Three Fugitives” (1989) with Nick Nolte and Martin Short.
In 1990, Ruck had a smaller role in the Oscar-nominated Western “Young Guns II” with Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Christian Slater. In the mid-‘90s, Alan played in an Oscar-winning action called “Speed” (1994) alongside Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, and Sandra Bullock, and in “Star Trek: Generations” (1994) with Patrick Stewart, William Shatner, and Malcolm McDowell. Ruck’s most prominent role came in 1996 when he began playing Stuart Bondek in the four times Golden Globe-winning series “Spin City”, appearing in 145 episodes until 2002; thanks to the commercial success of the series, Ruck’s net worth increased significantly. In 1996, he appeared in Jan de Bont’s Oscar-nominated “Twister” starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, and Cary Elwes. The movie was a major hit at the box office, grossing almost $500 million, and making it the most successful film Ruck has appeared in.
In the 2000’s, Ruck had roles in numerous series and films, including “Cheaper by the Dozen” (2003) starring Steve Martin and “The Happening” (2008) with Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, and John Leguizamo. Alongside Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear, and Téa Leoni, Ruck played in David Koepp’s comedy called “Ghost Town” (2008), maintaining his net worth.
Most recently, Ruck has played in Christopher Neil’s comedy “Goats” (2012) starring David Duchovny, Vera Farmiga, and Graham Phillips. He also plays Henry Rance in the new Fox series “The Exorcist” (2016- ), so his net worth is still rising.
Regarding his personal life, Alan Ruck was married to Claudia Stefany from 1984 to 2005 and has two children with her. In 2008, he married actress Mireille Enos and has two children with her also. Ruck has residences in both New York and Los Angeles.
