Graduated from Cleveland High School in Reseda, California, in 1972. Cleveland is the cross-town rival of Canoga Park High School, which is the school Kurtwood Smith (AKA "Red Forman" on That '70s Show (1998)) attended.
He also has an extensive background in dancing, bodybuilding and
martial arts.
In his spare time, he coaches the softball team for which his daughters play, and volunteers for the YMCA.
[on life before That '70s Show (1998)] I got turned down for a role on UPN and I was really, really down... now how sad is that to be depressed for not getting a role on UPN?
