Brief History:
Raised on the Canadian prairies, McLean relocated to NYC to study
acting with the legendary Sandy Meisner at The
Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre. After working on
stage and film in NY, he moved to Hollywood in the 90's where he continues
to garner roles in film and television. (See performance
page). His interest in live theater remained strong and soon Garth
began to produce local theatre and short films. His path led him to
the study of the martial art Aikido under the guidance of Haruo
Matsuoka Sensei, and by circumstance, to work [as an assistant]
for action movie star Steven Seagal. The celebrity lifestyle catapulted
him around the globe. Not to be deterred by a diagnosis of MS in 1996,
Garth has written and continues to perform his solo play
Looking for Lightning about his journey.
