I began My acting career at the age of ten when I took part in children's theater. I performed and studied with the Footlight Players at the Dock Street Theater and starred in my first play in 1973. Six years later, I attended the College of Charleston and interned at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. I was soon encouraged to apply to the famous Julliard School and ended up winning a scholarship to go there. I then pursued my studies and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I made my professional stage debut in 1985 in David Hare's A Map of the World. In 1992, I got my big break when asked to star in Far and Away (1992). I also appeared on television in "The Kennedys of Massachusetts" (1990) (mini), Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City" (1993) (mini) for PBS, and in the NBC mini-series "A Will of Their Own" (1998) (mini). I currently reside with my wife, Christine Gibson, and My 3 kids,J.P,Travi,and Agatha.
