Talented guy -- very underrated actor. He was bright enough to make the jump to producing and directing after his acting roles dried up, and did very well for himself on cable.
A great character actor in his day, usually playing bad guys. I recently saw him in "Smile Jenny, You're Dead", the pilot movie for the David Janssen "Harry-O" tv series, which just came out on dvd. <the pilot, not the series, unfortunately..>. He was great playing a creepy photographer/stalker, as usual.
