Early life

Born to Italian parents, he attended Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles, but after one year he realized that acting, not law, was his true calling. He took acting classes at UCLA and starred in a wide array of television and feature film parts over the next few years. While vacationing in Vancouver, Canada, he sent out his resume to several local talent agents.
