Was a production intern on stepfather Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic Schindler's List, and had a small role in his 2002 sci-fi thriller Minority Report.

First appeared as a regular on the 1999-2000 ABC sitcom Odd Man Out.
Was a regular on The Practice (2002-04), and played a lover of Bette (Jennifer Beals) in 2007 on The L Word.
