    He sported a mullet well into the 90s.
    Critics said that his acting on 'Days' consisted mainly of raising his eyebrow.
    He said of 'Days' writers constantly revamping John Black's character, 'I literally had a diagram in my dressing room mapping out John's history and family ties. It confused me!'

    He attended the University of South Florida on a baseball scholarship, graduating with a degree in biology and applied science.
    He was drafted by the New York Yankees and played third base for one of their farm teams until he was injured.
