The following year, the actor appeared in Mark Hanlon's disturbing independent film "Buddy Boy" (1999) played a corrupt cop who meets an explosive end in "The Crow: Salvation" (2000) and popped up as an FBI agent in Dominic Sena's big-budget crime caper "Swordfish" (2001).

In a dozen episodes of the Fox family drama "Party of Five" (1994-2000), DeKay played physician Paul Thomas, whose unhappy marriage to series regular Kristen Bennett was maintained as a subplot through the fourth and fifth seasons. Subsequent TV work followed, with his most memorable assignment being the conscientious Bizarro Jerry in two episodes of the long-running NBC sitcom "Seinfeld" (1989-1998). As villainous corporate profiteer Larry Deon, DeKay was called upon to hatch a series of world-threatening schemes, including pushing an iceberg toward the Middle East to flood the Saudi desert. He debuted on national television on the NBC science fiction adventure series "SeaQuest 2032" (1993-96) in 1995.

The supporting role of a jazz era inventor was a feather in DeKay's professional cap, but critics were unimpressed and the production closed after only 45 performances. After gaining experience in regional and off-Broadway theatre, DeKay made his Broadway debut in 1992 in a revival of George Kelly's 1924 comedy "The Show Off," produced by the Roundabout Theatre Company. Transferring to Rutgers University in New Jersey, he earned a master's degree in fine arts in 1990. His plans were put on hold indefinitely when the siren call of the stage compelled DeKay to enroll in the directing program at Syracuse University. Graduating from LeMoyne in 1985, he worked for a casket company while preparing to pursue a career either in business or law. Between classes, DeKay pitched in at the Firehouse Theatre, a converted fire station-turned-performance space, where he built sets and played the occasional role.
In 1981, an athletic scholarship brought him to the private LeMoyne College in Syracuse, where he majored in business and minored in philosophy. One of two sons of James and Jill DeKay, who later divorced, DeKay staged backyard plays with his younger brother and performed in student dramatics at Lansing High School. Timothy Robert DeKay was born, in the upstate New York town of Lansing, near Ithaca.
