Sheridan was born on August 15, 1958 in Chicago, Illinois, raised in its South Side. 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. Sheridan landed the role of Victor Baxter, a chef and the father of Raven Baxter, on the Disney Channel series That's So Raven (2003−07). After That's So Raven ended, Sheridan continued to play Victor in the spin-off Cory in the House, which ran from 2007 to 2008. He returned as Victor Baxter on Raven's Home, a continuation of That's So Raven, as a guest star in season 2. Sheridan joined the main cast three seasons later in 2022, after Victor suffers a heart attack and Raven helps him recuperate. Sheridan is therefore the only person to have been a part of the main cast of all three shows in the That's So Raven franchise. In addition to acting, Sheridan has also worked as a director, helming several episodes of That's So Raven and Cory in the House. Since the late 2000s, he has directed a number of short films, including Nowhere Cafe (2016).

In April 2025, Sheridan was diagnosed with severe pancreatitis.
