And I asked him for advice. He told me, "Do more theater. All young kids, fresh out of school, they all want to be famous and get on TV and film, but then once they're there, they don't have the talent for the staying power. Do more theater. In the theater they look at your whole body. But on TV you'll only have from [your chest] up. If you go into theater you'll be better at everything."
Thanks, Joe.

Great advice-amazing actor-he knows what he's talking about-he's a nice guy-had dinner with him one night after seeing his Broadway show ART in NYC-my dad and Joe went to Hoftra University together.
Doris Roberts was there too.

He was great in Brother from Another Planet. As the movie goes on you really start to believe he is from some other world. I dont know many actors in roles without any dialogue that can pull that off..

in Terminator 2, his facial expressions and emotion put into every scene he's in is just mesmerising. Incredibly impressive acting, although I haven't seen much of his other work.

haha. Thats why I came here. Ive seen this movie a million times but was watching it again. When Sarah shoots him and he's pushing his son Danny off him and kind of whimpering I was like dammnnn he's good!. So I came here to make sure he wasn't a one hit wonder with that talent only to realize he's been in many movies I've seen.

I met him years ago at a party (we had some mutual friends). I had really only seen him in "The brother from another planet" but I saw the talent that hsd made him the actor he is.
He is really gifted and I loved him in "Eureka"!
