He became a household name, when he was cast as Vinnie Terranova in the television series, “Wiseguy”, in the late 80s. He was nominated for an Emmy Award for his work, and won a Golden Globe. He went on to appear in a few more movies after the run of “Wiseguy” ended. However, a battle with alcohol addition and multiple injuries from motorcycle and on-set accidents began to slow him down, and he has since largely retired.
