Life and career
Sterling was born in Mill Valley, California. He has guest starred on numerous television series, including Judging Amy, ER, Star Trek: Enterprise, 24 and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to name a few. His only TV series regular was in the sitcom Alright Already, which lasted only one season from 1997-98. It originally aired on the now-defunct WB Television Network.[2]
Sterling has appeared in a number of films, mostly in supporting roles. His prominent role came in the 2006 action film Smokin' Aces where he played Lester Tremor of the psychotic neo-Nazi Tremor Brothers (opposite Chris Pine and Kevin Durand). His role required shaving his head, and shaving his eyebrows off.[3] His other prominent role was in Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008) as Rafferty, one of the villains who dognap Chloe (the chihuahua voiced by Drew Barrymore).[4][5]
