Biography and career[]
Recently, he recurred as narcotics crime lord Richard Wheatley on the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit spinoff Law & Order: Organized Crime. On Law & Order: Organized Crime, McDermott originally signed on as a one-year series regular to play Stabler's (Chris Meloni) Season 1 nemesis. His character Richard Wheatley was so well received that NBC and Wolf approached The Practice alum about coming back, leading to a blockbuster deal for him to return as a recurring in Season 2. McDermott's arc on L&O: Organized Crime wound down as he transitioned to FBI: Most Wanted as the new lead, replacing the departing Julian McMahon.
McDermott is also known for his roles in four seasons (first, second, eighth and ninth) of the FX horror anthology series American Horror Story, subtitled Murder House, Asylum, Apocalypse, and 1984 portraying Ben Harmon, Johnny Morgan and Bruce, respectively. He also starred as Lt. Carter Shaw on the TNT series Dark Blue; in two short-lived CBS dramas, Hostages and Stalker; and in the 1994 remake of the film Miracle on 34th Street.
