He began acting in high school, appearing in student plays of “St. Francis of Assisi” and “The Billion Dollar Saint.” He began working at his sister’s salon after graduating high school, thinking it would be an excellent way to meet girls. After working there for 18 months, he chose to go after a more lucrative career in cosmetics. As a result, he applied to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, where he was forced to deliver a monologue. Following the excellent response to his monologue, he quickly shifted to studying acting at the school instead and graduated in 1966.
