Career[]
His work as a visual artist explores religion, mythology, philosophy, esotericism and human consciousness, and reflects his deep study of Hermeticism, Alchemy and Kabbalah.
Inspired by his study with astrologer and teacher Edwin Charles Steinbrecher, McCloskey designed his own pen-drawn black-and-white Tarot, known as Tarot ReVisioned.
McCloskey's most notable accomplishment as a visual artist is generally considered to be The Hieroglyph of the Human Soul, an installation work painted on the walls of his personal library.
He is also known for portraying Mitch Cooper on the primetime soap opera Dallas (1980–88), Hank Miller / Joel Shubert / Lou Valentine on the primetime soap opera Hotel (1983–86), Dr. Zach Kelton / Ethan Asher on Santa Barbara (1988–90), Dr. Kurt Costner on The Young and the Restless (1996–97, 2013), and Drake Faraday on One Life to Live (2000).
