During the 1980s and 1990s, he appeared in several movies and television series, steadily developing a loyal audience. A standout moment came when he starred in NYPD Blue, a role that significantly boosted his career and industry recognition.
In the early 2000s, he returned to television in a role that would define the later part of his career, appearing in more than 200 episodes before ultimately retiring from acting in 2012. Today, his occasional public appearances remind fans of the lasting impact he made on television drama and entertainment.
