My big break was in the, now classic film: Deliverance...it was not only my first film, it was my first time in front of a camera! Needless to say, it opened doors for me that I didn't even know existed before that. I've been extremely lucky to have had a remarkable run in a wonderful variety of films. In addition to Deliverance...there have been the critically acclaimed productions of "Bound for Glory", "The Onion Field", "Taps"...The Peabody Award winning production of Thornton Wilder's, "Our Town" for The Bell Telephone Hour...and The British equivalent of the Academy Award to the BBC production of "The Chicago Seven Trial"

I've also had my share of "blockbuster" commercial successes...."Beverly Hills Cop", "RoboCop", "Total Recall" in which I've gotten to play men of authority and out and out villains...for a complete listing of my films, you might want to check out The Internet Movie Database.

I've also done countless TV movies, Mini-series and TV series... there are a few that I think are quite good....I am very proud of "A Case of Rape", which I did with Lizzy Montgomery...it was not only the highest rated TV movie for over ten years, we were credited with getting landmark rape legislation passed. I'm also extremely proud of one of the most colossal flops in the history of television...."Cop Rock"...ten years ahead of it's time and still one of the most daring and artistically realized TV show I've ever been associated with. I'm also quite proud of "Perfect Murder, Perfect Town"...the Jon Benet Ramsey murder case.. My first TV series, "Apple's Way"... and the year I did on "St. Elsewhere"

And there are some TV shows in the Sci-fi genre that I am delighted to have been in...I took over as captain of the ship on Star Trek: The Next Generation, for two episodes when Picard was captured by the Cardasians ... I'm a trivia question...one of the few actors who have actually done a "Captain's Log" I have several close relatives who think that's the only thing of real worth I've done in the acting business...that is until I started playing Kinsey in Stargate SG1... what a wonderful character he has turned out to be...I am looking forward with great relish to next season...I understand Kinsey will be out of control!!! Speaking of Sci-fi...one of the great delights I have had is to find such a synergy between the fantasy world and folk music...I play several Folk Festivals every year and I am always struck by the number of fans who come up after the shows, wanting to talk about Stargate or Star Trek...and these are real music fans too!
