Career
After graduating from Bowdoin College in 1972, Dowd earned a master's degree at McGill University and played professional hockey. The film, Slap Shot (1977), written by his sister, Nancy Dowd, is based in part on his experiences playing in the minor leagues. Dowd appeared in the film as notorious hockey player Ogie Ogelthorpe. His wife, Nancy N. Dowd (not to be confused with his sister), also appears in the movie.
He continued to occasionally act until 1996, but focused his career on becoming an assistant director and eventually a line producer. He had small parts in several films, the last being Bottle Rocket (1996), and has been a producer of such films as The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Shanghai Noon (2000), Wonder Boys (2000), and Apocalypto (2006).
