He became involved in drama from his high school days, and passed the summer months performing circus acts with his school buddy on the streets of Myrtle Beach.
In addition to his long-time role on Days of Our Lives, he had regular roles on One Life to Live, General Hospital, and the WB supernatural teen series Charmed.
