And I thank director Tom DiCillo for that. There are hundreds of actors in this town who could be playing neurotic, sex-obsessed, walking 8-by-10 glossies - and he gave the part to me.''

He finally landed the movie ``The Boys Next Door,'' and in 1986 was cast in the TV series ``The Colbys.''

His wife of 17 years, Juliet Mills, is working on filmmaker Garry Marshall's ``The Other Sister'' with Diane Keaton and Juliette Lewis at Disney.
