He also starred in “Lucky Lady”, “Ode to Billy Joe”, “One on One”, which he also wrote, “Ice Castles”, “Tribute”, “The Chosen”, “Running Brave”, “Modern Love”, which he also wrote and directed, and many more. And of course, he’s been immortalized as the voice of “Beast” in the Disney blockbuster Oscar-winning movie, “Beauty and the Beast”.

On television, he’s appeared in dozens of shows, movies and miniseries including “Death Be Not Proud”, “The Last of Mrs. Lincoln”, “The Death of Richie”, “Our Town”, “Two of a Kind”, for which he received a Golden Globe nomination, “Homewrecker”, “Precious Victims”, “American Dreams”, “Brave New World”, “A Feeling of Home”, and most recently, he can be seen in Season 2 of the popular Apple TV hit series, “Severance”.

As a composer, he’s written many movie scores, and together with his wife, the brilliant music superstar Karla DeVito, he co-wrote the hit song “We are Not Alone” from the movie, “The Breakfast Club”, AND the wonderful song “Nobody Makes Me Crazy” recorded by Diana Ross on her “Swept Away” album. Our guest also wrote the libretto and composed the music for the critically acclaimed musical, “Open Heart”.
