Bratt is still very active in Hollywood, however, as he appeared on the TV series Modern Family and Star.
Two decades ago he was a tabloid sensation for his romance with America’s sweetheart Roberts.
They were so close, she even guest starred on his series Law & Order.

They also made the cover of Vanity Fair in 2002
The Brooklyn native also ventured into movies, playing a Bond girl in 1989’s Licence To Kill.
Later she was seen in 1995’s Mortal Kombat and 2002’s Ballistic.
In 2008 Benjamin told Latina magazine that Talisa is ‘heart and soul personified.’
He also said, ‘She makes me a better man. That sounds like a line from a movie. It is, right? No, it’s hard not to speak in clichés about her, really, because so much has been made of my wife’s outer beauty — and she is otherworldly beautiful — but as I’ve come to know her, her heart and who she is as a person is even more beautiful.’
The hunk added: ‘What I dig about her is that she loves me. Even though she knows everything about me, she accepts me anyway, which is a pretty calming influence to have in your life and a great deal of support.’
Bratt looked dapper in Etro at the 90th Academy Awards in 2018. The Miss Congeniality actor brought as his date Soto as he supported his film Coco
