He also provided the voice for the puppy Spike, part of the "Riley Gang" in Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco; and played the role of Payton Shoemaker in Little Bigfoot.
He starred with Shelley Long and Treat Williams on the CBS comedy Good Advice, which lasted two seasons, 1993 to 1994.
He was in an episode of Touched by an Angel playing Nick Albright, a troubled teenager after his parents' separation.
He appeared in the episode "Shattered" on Without a Trace (which aired on April 27, 2006) as Jason McMurphy.
