I was born in Syracuse, New York but raised in Newbury Port Mass. I have one brother and one sister. My brother is an artist and designed two of my tatoos. I lived in Europe for thirteen years while my father served in the U.S. Airforce. It was during that time that I developed a certain love of sports by playing on teams at the military bases around the area. It was that love of sport that led to me originally planning to be a sportscaster, before I turned to acting. While struggling to be an actor I worked for years as a bartender and then later I worked for a year as a personal assistant to movie producer Andrew Stevens. I have worked on three films with Bruce Willis, 'Tears of the Sun' (2003), 'The Whole Ten Yards' (2004) and 'Hostage' (2005). Bruce is just about the best guy around, I truly couldn't have asked for a better friend or co-actor.
While I was playing my role as Lance Baldwin on the show, 'The O.C.' I brought Tallulah, Bruce's daughter on set with me for her birthday as it was her favourite show. I got the chance to show her all around and got everyone together to sing happy birthday to her (hopefully a moment she'll never forget). I will try to get back to any messages or comments, but since I get quite a few each day, there will be no guarantees. I read each and every one of them, and I appreciate them all.
Thank you
