O'Leary was born in Chicago, Illinois. He has two older half-sisters and an older half-brother.
O'Leary auditioned for the lead in Home Alone 3.[1] He made his acting debut in the lead role of the 2000 made-for-television film Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire. He was subsequently cast in the thriller Domestic Disturbance, playing the son of John Travolta's character; the film was released in November 2001 and performed fairly at the box office, grossing $45 million.[2]
