Joe McKinney (born Joseph Anthony McKinney, Rathfarnham, May 12, 1967) is an Irish stage, screen/television actor and voice-over artist.
Dublin-born McKinney trained and worked as a hairdresser for four years, before joining fringe theatre. He trained at Inchicore VEC Dublin and worked on stage productions such as the Irish Premiere of Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love by Brad Fraser and Saved by Edward Bond, both directed by Jimmy Fay, for Bedrock Productions in 1994. Other theatre productions include Joe Dowlings production of Brendan Behan's Borstal Boy (McKinney's first paid role), and Bouncers by John Godber, directed by Graham Watts, both 1995. Recent theatre includes Attic Improv's Spoonfed, Dublin Fringe 2005 and An Image for The Rose, which was nominated for Sexiest Fringe Show 2006.
In 1994, after featuring in a couple of commercials, McKinney starred in the famous Guinness advert, Anticipation, in which he danced around a pint while waiting for it to settle. Following the success of the commercial, he spent two years touring Europe making personal appearances to promote the product.
In 1997, McKinney moved to New York to pursue artistic representation and auditions. Moving back to Ireland, he also worked on a number of short films including Phone (1997) and The Boogie Man (1999), both written and directed by John Vaughan; Area 51, (2002) written and directed by Carl Collins; Easy Street, (2003) written and directed by Shane Conaty; A Dublin Story (2003) and Past Pupil (2005), both directed by Graham Cantwell and Nuts, (2007) written and directed by Irvine Welsh. Feature films include The Crooked Mile (2001) and Starfish (2004), both written and directed by Stephen Kane and King Arthur (2004), directed by Antoine Fuqua.
Television includes RTÉ One drama Glenroe, in which he played property developer Dan Reilly from 1998 to 2001. In 2008, McKinney took part in RTÉ Two observational documentary series Hollywood Trials.
McKinney's more recent work includes the IFTA-Nominated Anton (2008), directed by Graham Cantwell, Handheld (2009), directed by Jason Figgis and Good Arrows (2009), directed by Irvine Welsh and co-written by Welsh and Dean Cavanagh. In 2010 McKinney took the role of businessman Alexander Moog in October Eleven Pictures' feature film A Christmas Carol, adapted for the screen and directed by Jason Figgis.
In March 2009, Guinness announced that the Anticipation advert would be aired again as part of a "Classic Ads" campaign to mark the brewery's 250th anniversary. However, despite the popularity of the commercial, McKinney was excluded from the Arthur's Day celebrations which were held to mark the brewery's 250th anniversary.
A Founding Member and Artistic Director of The Attic Studio, McKinney is a Reiki Master/Teacher, and a Priest after The Order of Melchizedek - Melchizedek Priesthood, and a Minister of the Universal Life Church.
Short film, Halowin has been selected by Lars von Trier for inclusion in his project titled ‘Gesamt - Disaster 501: What Happened to Man’ IFTN.
Feature film All Is by My Side, in which McKinney plays Zoot Money, is in pre-production, for a 2013 release.

Austrian Research geneticist Dr. Alex Hesse (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has a nightmare about infants urinating in a library. In the real world, he and his colleague Dr. Larry Arbogast (Danny DeVito), an obstetrician and gynecologist, have invented a fertility drug, "Expectane", that is supposed to reduce the chances of a woman's body rejecting an embryo and thus prevent a miscarriage. Unfortunately, they are not allowed to test it on women since the Food and Drug Administration has not yet approved the drug; so Hesse and Arbogast move forward in their research. In response, Hesse breaks into the laboratory and locks himself in. The head of the review board, Noah Banes (Frank Langella), informs Arbogast that while the FDA has denied their team the right of human experimentation, the team has managed to receive a donation from fellow geneticist Dr. Diana Reddin (Emma Thompson) from the ovum cryogenics department. When Hesse questions the chances of a woman taking an unapproved drug during pregnancy, Arbogast reveals that there is no need to identify the gender of the experiment and convinces Hesse to impregnate himself, using an ovum codenamed "Junior".
