Born: January 14, 1969 in Rye, New York, USA

Married to: Amanda Anka (3 July 2001 – present) (2 children)

[on his past drinking] As disciplined as I am. I’m also a huge hedonist. If my fun level is like a 6 when I’m out, why not take it to a 10? That’s how I was with drinking. If I’m buzzed, let’s get drunk. And if I’m drunk, let’s black out. I mean, why not? I didn’t understand why you’d stop.

[on Arrested Development (2003)] I mean, my career was not vibrant, not robust, to say the least. And then that show came along and gave me a second chance. If it hadn’t appeared, you know, I may have turned to something else … It was the most important thing I’ve ever done.
