However, his breakout role was as Al Bundy on the Fox sitcom “Married… with Children”. He landed this role after a Fox casting agent saw him perform in a production of “Of Mice and Men” at the Hartford Theater in Hartford, Connecticut, and invited him to audition. “Married… with Children” was a big hit, and ran for 11 seasons from April 1987 to June 1997. He starred alongside Katey Sagal, who played his character’s wife, Christina Applegate as his daughter, and David Faustino as his son. “Married..with Children” was the show that launched O’Neill into stardom and made him a household name. The “Married” cast was honored in 2009 at the 7th Annual TV Land Award Show.
