He got his start in films playing a prissy bank teller in Tough Guys with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas. Working steadily in both film and television, he's best remembered on television for playing Johnny the waiter in Caroline in the City with Lea Thompson. A gifted improviser, sketch player and voice-over artist, his impression of Robert DeNiro in a sketch entitled "Deniro Sings the Supremes" at The Groundlings, led to him playing a pigeon named Bobby in Steven Spielberg's Peabody winning cartoon series Animaniacs.
