His television debut happened in 1985 with the television series Stephen Spielberg’s Amazing Stories. He was again seen in two separate shows in 1987, the Cold Steel and Nitti: The Enforcer.
In the 1990 movie Betsy’s Wedding, the rising star gained significant credits for his portrayal of a polite gangster.In 1991, he was listed as one of 12 “Promising New Actors” in John Willis’s Screen World, Vol. 4.
