American actor, author and martial artist known for playing Connor MacManus in “The Boondock Saints” (1999) and its sequel “The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day” (2009), as well as Bobby Dagen in “Saw: The Final Chapter” (2010). He had the lead in TV’s “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles” (1992).
Handsome with golden-skin and blue-eyes, Flanery began his acting career in the ‘80s. Raised in Houston, TX, he first began drama classes at University in pursuit of a pretty girl. The girl did not last in his affections but acting did. He left school to head for Hollywood where he had the usual stint of waiting table before finding an agent. It took eight months for him to get his first commercial jobs, leading to TV bits.
In 1987, he made his film debut in “A Tiger’s Tale” but it was not until the TV series “Young Indiana Jones” (1992) that he was first given recognition. Flanery continued making Young Indy specials until 1996. He continued to appear in a number of films, including “Suicide Kings” (1997) and “Best Men” (1997). He has also been seen in “Powder” and “The Grass Harp.”
Flanery has a 3rd dan black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which he teaches, and has raced and won in various celebrity races. He also enjoys spectator sports. In 2016, he published his first novel, “Jane Two,” a coming-of-age story drawing inspiration from his own childhood and early experiences.
