Trivia:

Left Melrose Place after six seasons because the network refused to allow the writers to explore his character Matt's love life, and left him with little to do on the show. In 1994, the network and producers cut Matt's kiss on the season finale in 1994 at the last minute after considerable ratings hype. See more trivia »

Personal Quote:

During my first year on Melrose Place, there was a great deal of pressure from the network [Fox TV] for me to out myself as a straight man. The producers of Melrose Place kept telling me I had to say publicly that I was a breeder. They said too many people assumed I was gay. I know the truth of my life... See more »
