He’s best known for starring in the Police Academy films, where his comedic timing really shined, and later, he took on the role of Louie Provenza in the popular drama series The Closer, sharing great on-screen chemistry with Kyra Sedgwick. Before he became a household name, he pursued his passion for acting by studying theater at Texas State University, laying the foundation for a long and successful career. Back in 1978, he made an early appearance with a small role on the TV show Soap, which marked one of his first steps into the entertainment industry. Over the years, he’s remained a steady presence on screen, balancing both humor and drama with ease. In his personal life, he was previously married to Eleanor June Goosby, and together, they raised two children, building a family even as his career began to take off. His journey—from student actor to beloved character performer—shows just how much dedication and talent can shape a lasting legacy in Hollywood.
