Terry David Mulligan (born June 30, 1942) is a Canadian actor and radio and television personality based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Born in New Westminster, British Columbia, Mulligan's first career was as a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer in Olds, Alberta and Red Deer, Alberta from 1960 through 1964. After leaving the Mounties, Mulligan worked as a radio DJ for 20 years, and then joined CBC Television as host of the music video series Good Rockin' Tonite (simultaneously, he was also a regular on the children's TV series Zig Zag, produced by BCTV). He left the CBC in 1985 to become a VJ and producer for MuchMusic, covering primarily the West Coast music scene as host of the long-running Much West series.
He is a program host and producer for the Canadian entertainment channel Star!. He also hosts two weekly radio programs on Alberta public radio station CKUA: Mulligan Stew, a long-running two-hour music program, and Tasting Room Radio, a one-hour spoken-word program about wine and winemakers.[1] Tasting Room Radio is also broadcast on CKFR AM 1150 in Kelowna, British Columbia and CFUN AM 1410 in Vancouver.
Mulligan is a prolific character actor who has been featured in supporting and small roles in many movies and television series including, notably, The Accused, The X-Files, Robson Arms, Hard Core Logo and the Fantastic Four movie. The vast majority of the films and TV shows in which he appears are filmed in the Vancouver area.
He has four children, Mindy, Sean, Fynn and Kate, and two grandchildren, Kyle and Taleigha. He has been married since 1977, to his wife, Meg. His children sometimes appear on Mulligan Stew.
Kate Mulligan is following in her dad's footsteps as an up and coming writer, involved in the media and music scenes. In August 2007 they had an interview together on Canada's CBC Radio One, a show called Sounds like Canada. They discussed an article Kate had published in The Tyee called "Growing up Mulligan", a hilarious and detailed account of life with TDM. Fynn Mulligan was briefly involved in acting in his younger years and now is a trainer in the Vancouver area.
He also co-hosts a wine show called [Hollywood and Vines with fellow actor Jason Priestly which is filmed at wine vineyards around the world.
