    • Trivia
      ABC and Cybill Shepherd originally wanted him for the role of "David Addison" in Moonlighting (1985), but show creator and writer, Glenn Gordon Caron, rejected him for the then-unknown Bruce Willis (both screen test were filmed -- two scenes each with actress Mary-Margaret Humes playing "Maddie Hayes" -- on September 7, 1984.) His screen test, along with Bruce Willis, appears at the end of the pilot episode DVD release.
