Personal Quote:

[about shooting the troubled Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living in New York (1975)] The hardest thing about that one was working with Jeannie Berlin. You don't do a picture with that one unless you've got a personal stake in it. She's very disturbed, and it was hard for the director. See more »

Trivia:

Has played two characters with pet dolphins: Heywood Floyd in 2010 (1984) and Captain Nathan Bridger on SeaQuest 2032 (1993). See more »

Trademark:

Often played the closest thing to a relatable everyman-type in iconoclastic 1970s movies See more »

Star Sign:

Scorpio
