Biography

Born in 1965, he has a twin brother named Mark. His family comes from Santa Barbara. He attended Bishop García Diego High School.

He has modeled for Ralph Lauren, Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, and Doug Ordway early in his career. In the 1990s he was one of the top male models. As an actor, he is best known for portraying Johnny Domino, the lead character in the 1997–1999 television series Night Man, and Agent Thompson, the assassin who kills Trinity at the climax of The Matrix Reloaded (2003). He also appeared as Vick Chamberlain, a T-888 Terminator in the television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008). McColm also portrayed the henchman of Jason Statham in the 2004 film Cellular.

McColm has a black belt in Kenpo Karate, but its cast received some praise. Writing for Ultimate Action Movies, Andrew Babcock opined that McColm "had the it factor," and "gave a very likable performance."

He was named "the new action star of the 90s" by the International Producers' Association (IPA). Robert W. Welkos of Los Angeles Times declared that McColm might be "Hollywood's next generation action star," following in the footsteps of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. In 1997 he appeared in the lead role in the Jack Gill-directed film The Protector. Portraying Kenneth James Conway, an ex-commando and a private detective, he had a chance to impress the audiences with both his martial arts skills and a perfect musculature. In a review for The Unknown Movies McColm's role was summarized positively: "He looks good, shows that he knows a fair bit about martial arts, and he does seem to be putting some effort in his performance." The same year he also starred in a low-budget action movie Fight and Revenge, which is believed to be lost nowadays. In 1999 the actor filmed his scenes for the Clint Eastwood-directed adventure drama Space Cowboys. He portrayed the U.S. Air Force navigator named "Tank" Sullivan as a young man, while James Garner played his older self. The movie was released in August 2000 to positive critical reception.

He was set to return as Agent Thompson in The Matrix Resurrections (2021), although his character never appeared in the final film.

He was set to star as a lead in a Jack Abramoff-produced, 25 million dollars-costing action–adventure movie called An Act of Courage. It was supposed to be filmed in Malaysia in 1992.
