Robert McElhenney III (born April 14, 1977) is an American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter. He is known for playing Mac on the FX/FXX comedy series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. He is also one of the developers, executive producers, and the co-creator of the show, which has provided him with writing and directing credits for various episodes.
Early life[edit]
McElhenney was born in Philadelphia, the eldest of three children.[1] Both of his parents are of Irish descent.[2] He was raised Roman Catholic.[1] When he was eight years old, his parents divorced after his mother came out as a lesbian.[1] McElhenney was primarily raised by his father, but has said that his parents remained close after their divorce.[1] McElhenney also has two brothers that are gay, and has 'always been part of the gay community'.[3] Through his father's subsequent marriage, he also has a half-sister and stepsister. One of his closest friends, Joseph Dougherty Jr. of Delaware County, suggested the idea for what later would become It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.[1]
He attended Saint Joseph's Preparatory School in Philadelphia.[4][5] After graduating, he attended Temple University. McElhenney moved to New York City, temporarily lived on the Fordham University's campus with friends, but chose not to enroll.[1]
Career[edit]
McElhenney scored his first major role with a small part in The Devil's Own, followed by small parts in A Civil Action, Wonder Boys, and Thirteen Conversations About One Thing, though his role in The Devil's Own was cut out of the final edit. He later had more substantial parts in Latter Days and The Tollbooth, and a small role in the Law & Order episode 'Thrill'. At the age of 21, a debut script by McElhenney was optioned with writer-director Paul Schrader attached to direct, before the project fell through after one year of edits and rewrites.[6]

Initially based in New York City after his graduation from high school, McElhenney moved to Los Angeles at the age of 25.[6] In 2004, McElhenney was waiting tables between acting jobs, and had met Glenn Howerton through his agent, and Charlie Day in New York while shooting a horror film.[6] His idea for a sitcom, starring himself, Howerton and Day, was filmed on a budget of $200 and pitched to many cable networks.[7] After receiving offers from many of the stations, McElhenney chose to sign with FX as they allowed him more creative freedom. McElhenney was contracted as It's Always Sunny's showrunner, and both Howerton and Day were listed as executive producers.[6]
McElhenney claims that 50 weeks of each year are consumed by acting, producing, and writing for the show, but he did find time to appear in the third season of Lost in the episode 'Not in Portland'. This was a result of McElhenney meeting Lost co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof, who is a fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. McElhenney continued the role in Lost, featured again in the sixth season for a single episode. McElhenney is a fan of Game of Thrones and was thrilled that the series' writers, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, asked to write an episode of It's Always Sunny. He and his co-producers accepted the offer,[8] resulting in the Season 9 episode 'Flowers for Charlie' in 2013. In 2019, McElhenney made a cameo appearance as an extra in the Season 8 premiere episode 'Winterfell'.
On July 21, 2015, McElhenney was confirmed by Mojang as the director of the upcoming animated Minecraft movie.[9] He has since left the project.[10]
In 2017, he appeared as a guest in the acclaimed Fargo episode 'The Law of Non-Contradiction'. He received praise for his performance from critics, who saw his character as a reference to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.[11][12]
Personal life[edit]
Before the first season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia went into production, McElhenney hired actress Kaitlin Olson to play the role of Dee Reynolds. He became romantically interested in Olson 'around season 2' of the series, believing her to be the funniest woman in show business.[6] They were married in California on September 27, 2008.[13]
In 2009, McElhenney and Olson announced their purchase of Skinner's Bar at 226 Market Street in Philadelphia (39°57′00″N75°08′41″W / 39.949895°N 75.144795°W). It was renamed Mac's Tavern.[14] They had their first child, Axel Lee McElhenney, on September 1, 2010. Olson went into labor at a Philadelphia Phillies game.[15] The couple's second son, Leo Grey McElhenney, was born on April 5, 2012.[16]
In preparation for the seventh season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, McElhenney put on 60 lbs of extra weight and let his beard grow out to give extra humor to his character and add a new comedic direction for the season. His co-star Charlie Day described the weight gain as 'disgusting' and said that the rest of the cast were 'a little on the fence about it for his own personal health and safety'. McElhenney subsequently lost 23 lbs in a month after the season was finished filming.[17][18] He lost more later in the year to film the next season.
Through his father, McElhenney is the first cousin of Olympic Medalist, attorney, and activist Marcus N. McElhenney.
