He also received numerous film festival nominations for his screenplay for the political drama, “Under Fire”, starring Nick Nolte and Gene Hackman.
He’s worked with many great actors including Paul Newman, Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Morgan Freeman, Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson, Tommy Lee Jones, Kurt Russell, and of course his wonderfully talented wife, Lolita Davidovitch.
