Born: October 15, 1971 in Littleton, Massachusetts, USA

While filming the movie Dazed and Confused (1993), he eloped with actress Milla Jovovich to Las Vegas in October 1992. Since Milla was only 16 at the time, her mother had the marriage annulled.

 Quit the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Pasadena, mid-term in 1991, by bursting into his acting class (during final scenes) wearing a trenchcoat – before those kids in Colorado turned it into a sign of menace – sunglasses and an unlit cigar. He then proceeded to “flip the bird” to his classmates and Acting teacher. Afterward, he lit the cigar, said only, “Yeah.” and walked out. Teacher Jackie Cowgill, without missing a beat, said “That was his best performance all year!”
