After appearing in a number of New York theater productions during the mid 90's, including "Twilight Cafe" at the EST Theater (1993) and "The Seagull" at the Actors Theater (1993), he returned to Hollywood to start his film career.

In the late 90's, he studied "The Method" under the tutelage of Shelley Winters at The Actors Studio and became a director member of The Actors Studio (PD Unit) in 2009, while he also performed in numerous stage productions including the award winning "Broadway Bound" (1995) at the Lonny Chapman Group Repertory Theater in LA Calif.
