Personal Quote:
It's difficult for younger actors in L.A. since TV has gone in a different direction with reality shows. You can become a TV personality without any skills or technique, just based on your looks and a willingness to be publicly humiliated.Trivia:
Was artistic director of the Antaeus Company, which he helped found in 1991 for classically-trained actors. He resigned in 2003. Later formed the Andak Stage Company. See more »Star Sign:
