He began taking acting classes with Gordon Hunt, Nina Foch, Howard Fine and The Groundlings, for whom he wrote and performed from 1989-95.
Fern Champion and Mark Paladini cast him in his first feature film role as Irv, the mechanic, in The Mask (1994). His first series regular role was on Howie Mandel's Sunny Skies (1995), for Showtime.
