Graduated as Valedictorian of his high school class while having been voted Class Clown; Academic and Honors Scholarships allowed him to earn his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre at the University of Wyoming. Was born at Balboa Naval Hospital of San Diego in 1978, brought back to Worland, Wyoming by his mother after his parents divorced in Christmas of 1980. He made the best of growing up under troublesome circumstances in a trailer park by eventually finding the balance between hard work and social interaction that would earn him the distinction of being Student Body President, Homecoming King, American Legion Boys' State Governor, three-time State Dramatic Interpretation Champion in speech & debate, two-time speech Nationals semi-finalist, and the University of Wyoming's Jack Oakie award for comedy. Influenced by Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's Gonzo journalism, Charles Bukowski, and Mel Blanc. Originally dreamed of being a cast member of SNL before studying Shakespeare, Stanislavski, Hagen, and Meisner's method at the University of Wyoming. Mentored under Mala Powers, executor of Michael Chekhov's estate. Most of his roles have required the use of his ability to replicate any dialect, most notably in several Foster's Beer commercials, as Mr. Irish in 2010 Game of the Year, "Red Dead Redemption," and as the traveling salesman William T. "Billy" Baxter in horror auteur Ti West's revenge western "In a Valley of Violence." Sweeney's motion capture work during "Red Dead Redemption" re-ignited his passion for stage combat and the Alexander Technique of movement to meet the demand of mainstream motion capture films. Cites Bill Murray, Jack Nicholson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Williams, Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, and John Goodman as core sources of inspiration. Distinctly remembers receiving news on four of his heroes' deaths during major events: Chris Farley was on the radio in the men's dressing room while Harrison applied his make-up for Kris Kringle in "Miracle on 34th Street," a waiter told him about Philip Seymour Hoffman's passing just before Peyton Manning fumbled into a safety on the Bronco's opening drive in the 2014 Super Bowl, Facebook feeds spread Harold Ramis' demise while Sweeney was well into writing his Ghostbusters pilot, and his girlfriend informed him of Robin Williams' suicide while on the set for the Russian film "Bet on Love.". Woke up to a Tweet from Ti West on Groundhog Day during the dawn of the Year of the Ape (2016) that West's "In a Valley of Violence" would make its world premiere by Headlining at the SXSW Film Festival. Sweeney's first large role in a major studio motion picture stars Ethan Hawke, John Travolta, Karen Gillan, Taissa Farmiga, Toby Huss, Burn Gorman, Larry Fessenden, and Tommy Nohilly in West's revenge Western about a stranger who sets out to avenge his best friend,.
