His wife, Karen, was the real beginning of his career in acting. She showed him that he was basically a lazy son of a gun with not much ambition to do anything but play. After she divorced him, he returned to college and ended up in acting classes just to prove she was right. Eventually, that led to the prestigeous position in the acting community that he now holds.
