An appealingly scruffy Irishman who immigrated to Canada with his family as a child, Buckley began landing small-screen guest spots while still in his teens. With his distinctive nasal twang and intense energy, he was able to play heavies and heartthrobs, good guys and geeks. A string of supporting parts, usually in teen-oriented fare (the horror flicks
Disturbing Behavior and
Wishcraft, the comedies
Girl Fever and
Roomies), along with many TV guest appearances, kept him in the public eye. But he reached his widest audience to date when he snagged a recurring role on
CSI: NY as a snappy DNA specialist.
