Originally unable to get a reading, he was recommended for the part by Melanie Griffith (then married to Steven Bauer). He immediatly received offers to reprise his psycho role but refused them to avoid being typecast. Instead, he made the "little movies", Dominick and Eugene (1988) (which earned him standing as an actor's actor) and Field of Dreams (1989) (whose success still surprises him).
