A working NY actor, Jack has guest starred in dozens of films and television shows including Sex & the City, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, and Blue Bloods to name a few. Jack got a major break in the spring of 1993 when he met writer/director Edward Burns while the two played for the McAleer's softball team in the Central Park Softball League. They began discussing a story that Burns had written called The Brothers McMullen and Burns soon offered Jack the lead as the conflicted eldest brother, Jack.

On a budget of only $15,000, McMullen went on to become one of the most successful independent features in indie film history, as well as garnering several illustrious awards ~ most notably, the Grand Jury Prize for Best Picture of 1995 at Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival and the Grand Prix for Best Picture at the 1995 Deauville Film Festival ~ and was acquired by Fox Searchlight Pictures at Sundance; Searchlight's very first acquisition. Jack went on to star in many indie features, including a slacker comedy, "Stuck In The Middle", that took the 2012-3 festival circuit by storm, delighting audiences and garnering four-star reviews. In one review a critic wrote, "Jack Mulcahy, as Leo, steals every scene in this crowd-pleasing comedy!" Two years later, Jack won his first ever Best Actor Award for his hilarious portrayal of Lucifer in Joseph Pepitone's comedy, The Jersey Devil, released worldwide in 2015. Jack is an alumnus of the prestigious Stuyvesant High School in New York City, where he graduated at the tender age of 16.
