He continued in theater productions such as ''Theater/TheOddCouple'' and ''Theater/ConversationsWithMyFather'', as well as bit parts in movies and television, but in 1991 he found a wider audience when he joined the regular cast of ''Series/{{Wings}}''. Since then he has enjoyed a solid status as That Guy You Recognize But Can't Name in dozens of smaller film and television roles, though his pseudo-anonymity arguably ended when he took the starring role in ''Series/{{Monk}}''. He has been nominated for and won a wide range of awards for his work, and has even lent his vocal talents to a handful of video games.
