Dissatisfied with a
mere taste of the theatrical arts and eager to extend acting into a full -
time passion, Eigenberg subsequently moved to New York and attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, working odd
jobs on the side (construction et al.) to put himself through school.Scattered roles followed, including a guest appearance on The Cosby Show and a bit
part in the awful 1989 generation - gap comedy Rude Awakening (co-starring Cheech Marin and Eric Roberts), but Sex and the City (which Eigenberg auditioned for out of innumerable hopefuls) represented the actor's first huge break.
