Biography
American actor from a noted family, the son of actress Patty Duke and actor John Astin. He had a three-year run on the '80s sitcom "The Facts of Life," after which he returned to finish high school with plans for journalism. At 23, he has scored parts in two recent movies, "In Love and War," and in "The Evening Star," both in 1997. He made his leading man debut in "Dream for an Insomniac."
Off the set, he shared a West Los Angeles home with two buddies and a couple of cats, keeping in touch with his parents who divorced in 1985.
On 19 March 2001, Astin made his debut in the short-lived TV series, "First Years," playing a gay lawyer. He took no issue with playing a homosexual character; however, Astin would not take the role of a criminal or murderer as it would conflict with his anti-violent Buddhist beliefs.
