Background

As a result, he took an interest in acting and began taking the two-hour bus ride to Laguna Beach where he studied drama, performing chores at the facility in lieu of tuition. His breakthrough role came a few years later in the television series Dangerous Minds.[2]

He has two daughters, Sierra (b. 2000)[3] and Serena (b. 2003).[4][5]
