Trivia:
He used the name Danny Sweeney at the beginning of his acting career, but since there was another actor with that name on the SAG/AFTRA productions, he had to change his name, and chose D.B. Sweeney.

For the movie Eight Men Out, in which he played Shoeless Joe Jackson, Sweeney had to learn to hit left-handed although he is right handed so he spent the summer with a minor league baseball team (Kenosha Twins) in Kenosha, Wisconsin.







Quotes:
(Answering the question what does DB stand for) When I'm on the golf course it's a Double Bogey. In England it's Dangerous Bloke. My mom and dad think it's Daniel Bernard. There are several other unprintable versions of it.
