Career

Feuerstein got his break-through on television as a recurring character on the daytime soap opera Loving (1983). When director Nancy Meyers was casting What Women Want, her daughter recognized Feuerstein from Practical Magic (1998) and insisted that her mother cast him. He was dubbed by wags as "Murderer of a thousand sitcoms" and "sitcom kryptonite" due to his lack of success in Fired Up (1997), Conrad Bloom (1998), The Heart Department (2001), Good Morning, Miami (2002) and, 3 Lbs. (2007). Feuerstein reunited as a love interest with Practical Magic co-star Sandra Bullock in the film Two Weeks Notice, but all of his scenes were deleted. Feuerstein was named one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in 2003.

Feuerstein is currently starring in the lead role of a new USA Network show called Royal Pains.

Feuerstein and Adam Stein are the two rappers in Lazy Monday, a West Coast response to the December 2005 Saturday Night Live parodic music video Lazy Sunday. In January of 2009, Feuerstein began appearing in the web series The Hustler on Crackle.

Personal life

Feuerstein was born in New York City to a Jewish family, lawyer father and a school teacher mother. His brother is a successful real estate attorney. However, most of the people in his family are lawyers. He was a wrestler in high school and won the State Championship. Feuerstein attended The Dalton School and graduated from Princeton University in 1993. He won a full scholarship to the London School of Dramatic Arts and studied with the top clown teacher at Ecole Phillipe Gaulier in France.

He got the nickname "Chaplin" on the set of Giving It Up (1999) because of his uncanny knack of physical comedy. He even had a physical slapstick back-and-forth with Mel Gibson a year later on the set of What Women Want (2000).

He married Dana Klein on June 9, 2005 in a Jewish ceremony. The two have a daughter, Lila Jane and a son, Frisco Jones.

Feuerstein has written a 193-page school thesis: Every Man is A King: An Actor's Journal. He is a constant supporter and activist for AIDS charities. He also enjoys mountain-biking, wrestling, dancing (hip-hop to salsa), yoga and jogging.
