I began my career performing in plays and musicals in New York, but by the mid- 80s, opportunities in Hollywood beckoned and I made the move to Los Angeles. It was a good decision.

If I look at the one thorn that is in my side, of all my life, it is my weight. I fret about it, I’m anxious about it, being an actor on television - it drives me insane.
