He had served as a Councillor of Equity since 1977 and held many leadership positions within the Union. He was elected President in 2000. A native Philadelphian and graduate of Temple University, Quinn began his Equity career in 1970. He made his Broadway debut in the revival of Fiddler on the Roof with Zero Mostel. His other credits include ten Broadway shows, including A Class Act, Beauty and the Beast, Lend Me a Tenor and the revival of The Sound of Music.  His most recent appearance had been in the Cape Playhouse production of Sylvia and earlier last season he appeared in Gunmetal Blues at the George Street Playhouse.  Quinn, who co-founded Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, had been the second Vice President of BC/EFA since 1993.
