i got some of my question answered. he was on the show for two seasons and it was one of his famous roles to date. so i'm figuring that's where i know him from. i watch the new show swingtown and he is on it and i was trying to figure out where i knew him from. i used to watch ally mcbeal but i don't remember who he was on the show. but i know that is where i know him from. i'm just trying to figure out who he was on the show. was he one of ally's boyfriends or was he a lawyer with them?
