In 1995, he was nominated for an Academy Award for his live action short film called “Little Surprises,” which he shared with Tikki Goldberg. In 2005, he received an Emmy nomination for his guest appearance as Frank/Scott on the hit series “Will & Grace.” His film credits include “Man of the Year” with Robin Williams, Wes Anderson’s “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park” and “The Lost World,” “Independence Day” with Will Smith, “Nine Months” with Hugh Grant and Julianne Moore, David Cronenberg’s “The Fly” and “The Big Chill” with Glenn Close and Kevin Kline.

LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT was the top drama series in basic cable prime for 4Q07 and brought new viewers to USA, more than doubling the Thursday 10pm time period audience from the same weeks the prior year. The show boasts an enormously talented cast led by critically acclaimed actor Vincent D’Onofrio (Detective Robert Goren); Kathryn Erbe (Detective Alexandra Eames); Julianne Nicholson (Detective Megan Wheeler) and Eric Bogosian (Captain Danny Ross) and the addition of Jeff Goldblum (Det. ZachNichols). LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT, Dick Wolf’s third installment of the “Law & Order” brand, follows the Major Case Squad as it investigates high profile cases, usually homicides, such as those involving VIPs, local government officials and employees, the financial industry and the art world. Criminal Intent differs from other series in the “Law & Order” franchise because it gives a great amount of attention to the actions and motives of the criminals, rather than showing (almost exclusively) the police and prosecution’s side of the case.
