He also starred in Woody Allen's Radio Days (1987) as Joe, and appeared in Big Business 1988 as (city twin) Bette Midler's son, and in the same year, in the motion picture My Stepmother Is an Alien where he played a character who dated the juvenile lead played by Alyson Hannigan; years later in Buffy, as Oz his character and Hannigan's were also romantically related.
