Known for his undeniable presence, this star captured the hearts of many during the 1990s as one of the defining faces of “Melrose Place.” He played Dr. Michael Mancini, the charismatic yet womanizing and morally ambiguous doctor who often found himself entangled in scandalous affairs and high-stakes drama.

In 1993, the “Melrose Place” star took a significant step in his personal life by marrying Elizabeth Pryor. Pryor, a talented and accomplished actress herself, shared a love for the arts with her new husband, and together, they appeared as a dynamic couple in the entertainment world.

However, the actor’s personal life took a different turn as he and Pryor decided to part ways years later. As a couple, they welcomed three children, Conner, Augie, and Luca, and despite the separation, his role as a father remained a constant.

The “Melrose Place” star revealed that his kids didn’t consider him a celebrity, noting, “They grow up in an entertainment community here, so they’re surrounded by a ton of actors 15 times more famous than their dad. I think to them, it’s not unusual.”

Over the years, this ’90s heartthrob has appeared in “Glee,” “NCIS,” and “Castle.” However, his children did show a sliver of interest when he starred in the short-lived “Melrose” reboot.
“My daughter says she’s seen some of the new one. [My kids] got a particular thrill when they saw me on the actual billboards,” the actor revealed.
