With the encouragement of his acting teacher Richard Bruer he left school after one year to pursue acting. At The Neighbourhood Playhouse Theatre he studied with Richard Pinter and studied classical theatre with Ada Brown Mather.After working in commercials and as a magician in New York City, he auditioned for a small role in Sidney Lumet's film Чужой среди нас (1992). Lumet was so impressed by the young actor, the director invited back to audition for the leading role. Although he had virtually no professional credits, Thal landed the role of an Hasidic scholar who becomes involved with an undercover police officer (Melanie Griffith).While the film failed to impress critics or the public, Thal's carefully measured intensity and equanimity were praised. He subsequently played a police officer (and the anti-heroine's husband) in the farcical Пистолет в сумочке Бетти Лу (1992) and followed up with a small role in Шесть степеней отчуждения (1993), as a heterosexual driven to suicide after an intimate encounter with a con artist (Will Smith).Thal later co-starred as Donald Sutherland's disaffected son in Кукловоды (1994) and as a man who must face romance after the excitement has worn off in Joe's So Mean to Josephine (1996). He segued to the small screen playing the hirsute strongman in the TNT Biblical epic Самсон и Далила (1996), opposite Elizabeth Hurley. The following year, Thal was cast as a musician engaged to Halle Berry in the ABC TV-movie Свадьба (1998). - IMDb Mini Biography By: Tori Lyons
