Though the first in her famous family to earn a college degree, her anthropology and sociology studies fell by the wayside upon switching her major to theater.

  • Steven Weber

    Sam Blue (Season 3, recurring previously)

    9.2
    Born in 1961 in Briarwood, Queens, New York, to two entertainment geared parents, Steven began his career quite early. He was a commercial actor while in the third grade and honed his craft, through the years, at the High School of Performing Arts in Manhattan, the State University of New York at Purchase, and through various performances on television, feature film, and Broadway.

    Though perhaps not as widely known, Steven has certainly made his way through the trifecta of performing. He has acted in the Mirror Repertory Company, working with stars like Geraldine Page, and later earned his soap opera wings with a one year stint, opposite Julianne Moore, in As the World Turns. On a personal level, he met his first wife on this very set. He garnered more attention with roles in The Flamingo Kid and The Kennedys of Massachusetts, playing the difficult role of John F. Kennedy. Perhaps the role that gained him a true fan base, though, was that of Brian Hackett on Wings. He parlayed this popularity into roles like Jack Torrance in the television remake of Stephen King's The Shining and, once a King favorite, also You Know They Got a Hell of a Band (from the Nightmares and Dreamscapes mini-series) and Desperation. He has also, notably, been a guest star in Monk, with former costar Tony Shalhoub (2006). He has also starred in various short-lived television series, such as Cursed, Once and Again, and The D.A. Though the series proved short-lived, Weber also shined as Jack Rudolph on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and now makes his fans drool as Graham on Brothers and Sisters.

    Steven has also taken a turn on Broadway. He has played in Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing and played Leo Bloom in The Producers (2001-2002), a role he doubted he would get but was encouraged by his wife and agent to try out for. Alan Alda earned an Emmy nod for his role as Weber's father in 2003's Clubland, a movie written and produced by Weber. In London, Weber also costarred with Kevin Spacey, in 2005, in National Anthems.

    Weber's career continues to evolve and his resume continues to grow as this 1990s sitcom star refuses to stay down. On a personal note, after divorcing his first wife, he did in fact remarry and now is part of a family of four, including his two sons with his second wife.moreless

    Now here is an actor who has had plenty of windows, but rarely a rock. Mark Feuerstein, son of a school teacher and lawyer, the diminutive and boyishly handsome muscle-bound actor has had something of a spotty career. Making successful and popular guest-spots and recurring roles and disasterous and short-term regulars, Mark has certainly made his way into Hollywood out of sheer determination (and some may say talent as well). Starting out as a high school state champion wrestler with aspirations of following in the family footsteps and being a lawyer, after taking a theater class, Mark became instantly smitten. After graduation, he applied to the London School of Dramatic Arts and studied the art of physical comedy at Ecole Phillipe Gaulier in France. After some brief off-Broadway theatre, he made waves as a recurring role with the on the ABC soap "Loving" and then later became a running staple of NBC as the too-young, too-naive, too-excited and eventually philandering veterinarian boyfriend of "Caroline in the City." Audiences and suits were impressed and NBC put Feuerstein in a genuinely good sit-com called "Fired Up" about an exec and her assistant who face the world together. But at a time where "Seinfeld" and "Friends" were must-see and NBC wanted to manufacture all their shows to be like these, "Fired Up" was laid off after almost two seasons. NBC tried again by giving Feuerstein his own star-vehicle entitled "Conrad Bloom" about a young ad exec who was being smothered by every woman around him. An intriguing idea killed by a weak and lifeless execution. The show moved at a slug's pace and so did a lot of the cast, despite a really kicking opening soundtrack. Many critics has labled him "sit-com kryptonite," "murderer of a thousand sit-coms" and "batting for Tom Arnold's record" and audiences didn't even notice him. And after the disaster of two shows, most actors would probably be so crushed, they'd try to find a new day job. Things sure looked grim. But Mark wasn't about to be stopped. He got his first Broadway lead in Alfred Uhry's Tony award-winner "The Last Nights Of Ballyhoo" about a family of Southern Jews, and made his major motion-picture debut as Micheal, Sandra Bullock's doomed husband in Practical Magic. As well as a memorable short role (he says his favorite) as a junior suit with empty charm who's young enough to be Albert Brooks' son and gives him the shaft in Albert Brooks' "The Muse"(1999). With "Casanova Falling" (later retitled in the U.S. "Giving it Up"), Feuerstein was cast in his very first leading man role as a womanizing advertising exec who falls for his new boss (Amy Redford) who doesn't share his superficial worldview. The movie won the "Romantic Comedy" trophy at the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival. With the casting of Feuerstein in both Woman on Top and What Women Want (both in 2000), Feuerstein had apparently survived the storm and it was smooth-sailing from then on in. Entertainment Weekly has even dubbed Mark "It Phoenix" due to his wild comeback after so many duds (enough to give a lot of other actors a lifetime ban from the biz). Mark finally returned to NBC and managed to make amends with recurring roles on "The West Wing" and "Once and Again." But was Mark able to be successful as a regular? He made a bunch of bit-parts in films and guest spots on TV until finally reaching regular work with the semi-popular, if critically scathed "Good Morning, Miami" where Mark played a boy wonder producer who winds up taking a job no one (not even him) wanted... because of the woman he does. By next year, Feuerstein had become not only a recognizable face, but a heart-throb as well. He was named one of People's 50 Most Beautiful People in 2003. And appeared in the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jules Phifer's Off-Broadway production of the play "A Bad Friend" later that summer. Feuerstein is at the top now, short guy that he is. Because he crawled and clawed tooth-and-nail to get there. He doesn't look bad for the journey.moreless

  • Edward Zwick

    Dr. Daniel Rosenfeld

    9.8
    Edward Zwick is best known for his original series, thirtysomething, My So-Called Life, and Once and Again, which he collaborated with work life partner and co-creator Marshall Herskovitz. He began his career with his award-winning student film, Timothy and the Angel which he made in 1975 while a directing fellow at the American Film Institute. This film brought him to the attention of the producers of Family (ABC) who hired him as a story editor in 1976. Here he also worked with Marshall. Over the next four years, Zwick got his first taste of mainstream success as a writer, director and finally producer (in its last season) of the warmhearted drama series. After helming the TV-movies Having It All and Paper Dolls (both ABC, 1982), he scored critically with the Emmy-winning Special Bulletin (NBC), which marked the beginning of his collaboration with writing-producing partner Marshall Herskovitz. Two years later, they formed Bedford Falls Productions.
     Zwick made his first film at directing About Last Night (1986), an adaptation of David Mamet's play Sexual Perversity in Chicago, before returning to the small screen with the first fruit from Bedford Falls, ABC's polished, Emmy-winning show thirtysomething (1987-91). His second feature, Glory (1989), a stirring and long overdue tribute to the black soldiers who fought for the Union cause in the Civil War. This was followed by Leaving Normal (1992).
    Zwick returned for Legends of the Fall (1994), a sprawling family saga adapted from Jim Harrison's novella about a retired officer (Anthony Hopkins) and his three sons (Brad Pitt, Aidan Quinn, Henry Thomas) living in Montana. He and Herskovitz brought the much-praised My So-Called Life (ABC, 1994-95) to the small screen but failed to repeat their earlier success with thirtysomething and it was canceled after 19 episodes.
     Zwick's next two features were contemporary dramas, both starring Denzel Washington -- Courage Under Fire (1996) and The Siege (1998). Zwick and Herskovitz's then made the highly-praised but low-rated relationship drama Relativity, (ABC 1996-97) disappeared quickly. They came back in 1999 with another critically hit Once and Again, which lasted three seasons. They appeared in 2001 on a reunion show for thirtysomething on BRAVO.moreless
