Trivia

Graduated from Berkeley High School, Berkeley, California in 1962

Pioneered the 'loose camera' look, used constantly during the first 2 seasons of "NYPD Blue" and then reduced by half after that due to its causing distraction from the storyline - as well as potential viewer problems similar to one reading a book while riding in a moving vehicle. This technique has recently been revived, however, on the big screen, in the 2007 release "The Bourne Ultimatum".
