He reteamed with Friedkin a few years later in 1990 to play the male lead in the horror movie "The Guardian," a man who hires a nanny to take care of his baby not realizing she intends to sacrifice the child to a Druidic tree god. He has also appeared in the movies "Red Dragon," "Gettysburg," and "The Cutting Edge," and in several television shows including "Quantum Leap," "ER," "Ally McBeal," and "Firefly." Working frequently on stage, he was in a production of "Angels in America" and created the role of Hermes in Deb Norton's play "The Whole Banana."
