My career started exactly 20 years ago when I was cast in a pilot for Fox called “The 3rd Degree” with Jensen Ackles and Maggie Lawson. I was almost two years out of college and living in Greenpoint, Brooklyn where I had a unique view of the Twin Towers from my rooftop.

I hopped into my car and turned on NPR and headed towards the Westside. I remember being calmed by the way NPR covered the events as they unfolded — the Pentagon, the plane downed in Somerset County, Penn. By then the Towers had already collapsed. I rolled up to the studio where they filmed “Buffy” and “Angel” in Santa Monica and the casting office was quiet. I wasn’t the only actor there [but] no one knew how to proceed; the day was still in half-motion.

That afternoon I made my way back to the valley to read for a role in “That’s Life” featuring the legendary Ellen Burstyn, Paul Sorvino, Debi Mazar and Heather Dubrow. I later learned that Kevin Dillon, who played Heather’s brother on the show, lost 12 friends on 9/11 — all firefighters. When I got back to Burbank in the afternoon, I looked down Riverside Drive towards Glendale and saw a huge cumulous cloud billowing in the plane-less sky. It looked like the smoke from an explosion.
