Early life and education
Born in Red Bank, New Jersey, he started training in martial arts—Tae Kwon Do—at the age of nine, and earned his black belt at fourteen. He began competing in tournaments, winning the ATA Jr National Karate Championship in 1981. In high school he started getting into trouble, drinking and fighting, but a Nun (his English teacher) signed him up for the school play, which, in due course, became his creative outlet. After graduation, he enrolled at The Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theatre, and went on to earn a BFA in Acting from New York University, studying with Oscar winner Beatrice Straight.
