Biography
McGiver is the son of actor John McGiver. In 1979, he graduated from Middleburgh High School in Middleburgh, New York, before attending the University at Albany and then New York University, where he earned a master's degree in acting. He was not initially eager to follow in his father's footsteps: "I kind of denied it [acting] throughout my childhood because my dad was an actor and he was never around. He had to feed 10 kids, he was always working, so to me acting was never connected to something good, and I had never realized what an art it was. I thought it was just playtime."
