Sheridan is an alumnus of Marquette University.

Sheridan also starred as Dr. Ron Aimes on the short-lived NBC/UPN sitcom Minor Adjustments.

He matriculated at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Sheridan studied interpersonal communications while minoring in advertising.

He graduated from Marquette in 1980.

Sheridan received his acting training at Circle in the Square Theatre School.

Sheridan focused on his career as a stand-up comedian during the 1980s.

His style has been described as observational in nature.

He performed on talk shows The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Sheridan has cited George Carlin, Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor among his comic influences, stating he views them as "comedic storytellers" who inspired his own approach to stand up.

In one of Sheridan's earliest acting roles, he portrayed a guard at a mental hospital in horror film Deadtime Stories (1986).

He played the lead role of Dr. Ron Aimes, a child psychologist, on the sitcom Minor Adjustments (1995−96).

The series originally debuted at NBC, but switched to the fledgling UPN network in the middle of the season after NBC cancelled it.

The run on UPN did not fare any better, and the show ended that season.

Following Minor Adjustments, Sheridan made numerous guest appearances on television, including on CBS drama Touched by an Angel and as a police officer in the Nickelodeon series Kenan & Kel.

He appeared as patriarch Andre Walker on the sitcom Cousin Skeeter from 1998 to 2001.

Since the late 2000s, he has directed a number of short films, including Nowhere Cafe (2016).
