His first job was at a theater in Seattle, Michigan. The theatrical experience of the young actor was constantly improved. Of course, at first he was not offered serious roles, but he quickly attracted the attention of the audience.

In 1986, the actor married the famous actress Tony Hudson, but the marriage broke up in 1995. Dirk has three sons: John, George and Roland. At the same time, he learned about the presence of his first son only in 1997, since the child was the result of his stormy youth. Dirk was so surprised that at first he simply did not believe this fact.
