Cavanagh received a Golden Globe nomination and a TV Guide Award for his work on Ed, which ran for four seasons beginning in October of 2000 and concluding in February of 2004. In 2002, he starred in the Showtime film Bang Bang You're Dead, which won a Peabody Award.
He was born in Ottawa, Canada, and moved with his parents to a small village in Ghana when he was six years old. In his teens, the family moved to Montreal where he started high school. While attending Queen's University in Ontario, he became interested in theater and music and played ice hockey and basketball. He graduated with degrees in English, biology and education.
In 1989 he was cast in a Broadway revival of Shenandoah. His stage credits also include productions of Grease, A Chorus Line, Cabaret, Brighton Beach Memoirs, and Urinetown.
He has long been known in Canada as an actor in television commercials, appearing for Labatt in the 1990s and more recently for CIBC.
In 2002, Cavanagh guest starred on the sitcom Scrubs. He was hired to play Dan Dorian, the brother of lead character J.D. (Zach Braff), because of his resemblance to Braff. He returned for one episode in 2003, again for a two-episode arc in 2004, and most recently in April 2006.
Cavanagh married Maureen Grise, a photo editor for Sports Illustrated, on July 31, 2004, in a Roman Catholic ceremony in Nantucket, Massachusetts. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Alice Ann, on February 10, 2006.
In 2005, Cavanagh filmed a pilot entitled Love Monkey with Jason Priestley, Judy Greer, and Larenz Tate. The show was picked up by CBS as a midseason replacement and debuted on January 17, 2006. Love Monkey was given an eight-episode order, but only three aired on CBS before the show was placed on indefinite hiatus due to low ratings. VH1 bought all eight episodes and played them in their entirety in the spring of 2006. However, CBS is intending to make all 8 episodes available for free on-demand on-line viewing on its new Innertubewebsite (1 episode is already available).
In March 2006, Cavanagh signed on to another CBS comedy, called My Ex-Life about a divorced couple who remain friends. It has not been said when the show will air.
