Biography

He is one of fewer than 100 saké experts in the United States, having passed the level one and level two Saké Education Council exams in Japan, and as of 2018 is the resident beverage director at Kenichi in Austin, Texas.

Offered a part on the series Murder, She Wrote (1984), but this coincided with the shooting of IT (1990) - so he turned it down.

Although his best known acting role was as the young Eddie Kaspbrak in IT (1990), he states that he is not a fan of Stephen King's writing at all and has read very little of King's work.
