Donald Foley (1963-2011) was an American actor.

Life and career

Shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Donald Foley made a decision. “It kind of woke me up a little bit,” he said. Life was too short and too uncertain to waste it doing something he didn’t really want to do, he said. A self-employed computer programmer, Foley was admittedly wasting hours and hours every day playing computer games.

After 9/11, Foley decided that what he really wanted to do was act. So he started acting. “I was feeling like life was not giving me what I needed,” he said. “I felt like something was missing, so I decided to make a change and try my hand at acting. I never looked back.”[1]

Foley was from Boston and is best known for his role of Bluey Batchelder in the movie The Golden Boys.[2]

gollark: Oh yes, right, you're working on somewhat useful stuff.
gollark: ⁢ you.
gollark: What are you working on?
gollark: He was meant to be doing the obstacle course thing, didn't particularly do anything, and was told by Mr Wilde to work out how to use the xbox controller, which is doomed to failure I think.
