Andrew Keegan was born in Shadow Hills, California. He was first recognized for his gregarious performance of teen rebel "Zack Dell in the cult-classic film 疯狂夏令营 (1994). Barely in high school, 罗兰·艾默里奇 cast Keegan in the blockbuster 独立日 (1996). After an immediate rise in popularity, the charismatic actor guest-starred on many hit shows before being cast on the TV drama Party of Five (1994). That same year, he landed another recurring role on 7th Heaven (1996), the WB's longest-running hit series, on which he played a single teenaged father in love with 杰西卡·贝尔's character Mary. Keegan showed his range from comedy to drama in two modern-day Shakespearean film adaptations. His hilarious performance as the antagonist of 希斯·莱杰 in the comedy 我恨你的十件事 (1999) was balanced by a solid dramatic performance as 梅奇·费法's best friend in O (1995), which was directed by 蒂姆·布雷克.
A bold choice in his career, Keegan accepted the lead role in 格里格·伯兰蒂's critically acclaimed 伤心俱乐部 (2000), which showed a more vulnerable side of his acting range as the newbie. The film won best picture that year at the GLAAD Awards. Expanding his range in 2009, Keegan made his theatrical stage debut in the provocative award winning play "He Asked For It." Keegan stepped on stage as Rigby, a character tackling the emotional issues of being HIV-positive in modern-day society. In 2010, Keegan jumped into the cockpit as Strayger, a drug-smuggling pilot in the high-octane action film 急速杀机 (2010). Innovative camera technology allowed the adrenaline-driven actor to give his performance while doing aeronautical stunts in mid-flight.
Alongside 威廉姆·赛德勒 and 约翰·赫德, Keegan took on a darker role as a sadistic and sociopathic vampire named Blake in the film Living Among Us (2018).
