This guy had oodles of potential as a young actor I first saw him as "Moonlight" Graham when he still had his whole life ahead of him. Years and years pass and nothing but crappy, menial roles that do nothing for him. A real waste. I saw him on some crappy show on UPN dressed in an animalistic uniform. Humiliating.

I agree, Frank Whaley is a hugely talented actor and he is completely underappreciated. He should have a huge career by now as an actor and a director as well. I have noticed that his movies have a great life on cable. I can usually find at least 2 movies on any given day that feature him.
You should check out the newly released edition of "Swimming with the Sharks". . . it features very funny commentary by Frank Whaley and the director, George Huang (w. sep commentary from Kevin Spacey). -

Waste of talent seems harsh. He's made some questionable choices, but there's plenty of really entertaining films on his resume. Maybe he's just looking to pay the bills, or he has some substance problem.
He is immensely likeable, though.
