Early life

McGowan was raised in New York. He attended Ethical Culture Fieldston School from kindergarten through senior year in high school, where he was the captain of the football and ice hockey teams and a member of the drama and theater societies. He graduated in 2002 from Carleton College. His mother is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent while his father is Irish American.

Career

In mid-2011, McGowan joined the cast of the Showtime dramedy Shameless, as Jody, first as a guest star (season 2) and then as a series regular (season 3). Season two premiered January 8, 2012. He said that modeling for art students helped him for the role and now "nudity is just part of the job".

In July 2013, McGowan joined the cast of the Universal Pictures feature film Dracula Untold, playing Shkelgim, a mysterious Romani.

In January 2014, McGowan joined the cast of the Starz dramatic adventure TV series Black Sails, playing a fictionalized version of the real-life 18th-century English pirate Charles Vane. The role called for an English actor, so McGowan, an American, affected an accent. Casting directors found out later that McGowan was faking but were impressed with his performance and chose him for the role.

In July 2016, McGowan joined the cast of The CW science fiction TV series The 100, playing King Roan of the Ice Nation, after having previously played the role as a guest star.

In January 2017, McGowan joined the cast of the ABC TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., playing villain Anton Ivanov / The Superior.

In March 2018, McGowan joined the cast of L.A.'s Finest, a TV series based on the Bad Boys franchise, alongside Jessica Alba and Gabrielle Union.

Personal life

McGowan married Emily Johnson on September 27, 2008, in the Santa Barbara mountains.
