Chiklis was born in Lowell, Massachusetts. His mother, Katherine (née Vousboukis), is a hospital administrative aide, and his father, Charlie Chiklis, runs a hair/beauty salon. Chiklis has been described as inheriting his acting ability from his mother. His father is a second-generation Greek American (his parental ancestors came from Lesbos) and his mother is of Greek and Irish descent. Chiklis grew up in Andover, Massachusetts and began entertaining his family with celebrity imitations when he was five years old. As a child, Chiklis appeared in regional theater productions and became a member of the Actors' Equity Association at age thirteen. In the ninth grade, he portrayed Hawkeye Pierce in Andover High School's production of M*A*S*H. He later attended Boston University College of Fine Arts, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
"He oversaw the production from a distance. He had casting approval, and script approval. So he acted as the big man on the mountain."
"A brick layer, lays bricks... I'm an Actor, that's what I do."
"I hoped that academy voters weren't swayed by the dogma that was being thrown around. Fortunately, they weren't."
"I was actually a little nervous when the female horse got shot,"
"[Soon after he called his family.] The phone is ringing off the hook, and my poor 9-year-old is like 'What do I do?' ... This is surreal."
"[Curly] was very introverted and he drank a lot, and that's when he would come out -- either that, or in a performance, ... But he would hang with his stray dogs. And he was a big womanizer. I think it was overcompensation for being bald and heavy, and acting like a buffoon. He wanted to feel attractive."
"He didn't want to travel like the others. He had a career as a working actor in Los Angeles."
"Patience has never been my strong suit."
"Some people have questioned whether or not I can play a nice guy. Sometimes you can't win for losing."
"I usually work from the inside out but sometimes in comedy it's fun to work from the outside in."
"I think one of the most humiliating moments of my life was putting on spandex, personally. It's always nice when four women pull you into spandex when you're in jockey shorts. Yeah."
"I am the first to admit my iPad is the coolest thing in the world, but when we can be in a room together and really connect, or leave the gadgets home and go for a hike, then I'm happy."
"I've been a musician my whole life. I'm really enjoying making music again."
