"Born and raised in New York City, Parker began acting at age 5, according to his IMDB bio. By age 14 he was studying with teachers from the Actors' Studio and went on to graduate from the High School of Performing Arts in Manhattan. When he was 20, the Actors' Studio accepted him as one of its youngest members ever."
"Parker held many television roles over the following decades, perhaps most memorably as hippie-ish boyfriend Josh to Debra Messing's Grace Adler during the second and third seasons of Will & Grace during its initial 1998-2006 run. Before that he played Dr. John Morgan, the ship's physician on the two-season Love Boat: The Next Wave from 1998-99."
"Parker has left us, this earth, this reality, finally to rest, BGB Studio, where he had taught for the past several years, posted on social media Saturday. The studio shared a quote from his sister Noelle, who wrote, I believe he left this world weightless, at peace & surrounded with love."
