His net worth was established.

His career on screen began in the early 1980s, but until 1987 he didn`t have any major roles until he was selected as Moe Adams in Barry Levinson`s “Tin Men”, alongside Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito. By the end of the 1980s he had appeared in successful films “Moonstruck” (1987), starring Cher and Nicolas Cage, “Betrayed” (1988) with Debra Winger and Tom Berenger, and “Say Anything” (1989) alongside John Cusack and Ione Skye.

Also in 1993 he played Sam Campagna in the film “In The Line of Fire”. During the 1990s he had several notable roles, including in “The Hudsucker Proxy” (1994), “Reality Bites” (1994), “The American President” (1995), and “Primal Fear” (1996), among others, all of which added to his net worth.

In the new millennium John`s first role was as Jack in “The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy”, and five years later he appeared in the film “Fathers And Sons”. In 2007 he played Poppy in the comedy film “Dan in Real Life” with Steve Carell in the lead role, and two years later he portrayed Walter Barnett in the TV series “In Treatment” (2009).
