Early life and education

Both his parents were involved in theatre and in civil rights activism. He graduated from Wethersfield High School in 1972 and Yale University in 1976. He then attended Yale University of Drama, receiving a MFA in Drama in 1979, and the majority of his early roles on stage followed him.

His character made a return to form in the season 6 episode "Endgame," where it was revealed that Goren has kept in touch with him through correspondence. The last line of Eames' season 2 ("Probability") is "I'm sure he'd like a pen pal."

In the 2002 Sandra Boynton album Philadelphia Chickens, Linn-Baker provided the voice for one of a quartet of aardvarks. Joe Grifasi, Michael Gross, and Devin McEwan represented the other three groups.
