At the start of his career, Schlatter was spotted by a casting director during a performance in 1988, and asked to audition for Michael J. Fox drama Bright Lights, Big City. This led to his first film appearance, as the younger brother of Fox’s character. He starred in an Australian romance called The Delinquents soon after, and in 1990 was cast as Ferris Bueller for the NBC Sitcom spinoff of the movie. In 1992, he co-starred in Sunset Heat and in 1994 made an appearance in Police Academy: Mission to Moscow as “Cadet Kyle Connors” before landing the role of “Dr. Travis” on Diagnosis: Murder in 1996. He is currently married to Colleen Gunderson and the couple have three children.
