His parents divorced when he was six. He was raised in Hickory Flat and Atlanta, Georgia, but moved to Los Angeles, California when he was fifteen. In 1986, he graduated from Beverly Hills High School in Beverly Hills, California. He attended Pitzer College in Claremont, CA for 1 year and eventually earned his Aviation Science degree from Utah Valley University.

On Valentine's Day, 1993, Fine married Jessica Resnick, but the couple divorced in 1995.[3] On June 29, 2002, he married Kristine Hostetter. He has two daughters born in 1994 and 2004, and a son born in 2007. Fine and Hostetter were divorced in 2020.

On April 2, 2023, Fine married Genneva Maschler.

Career

Fine's acting career started at the age of seven when he was cast as John Henry in a stage production of Member of the Wedding at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta. Over the next few years, he starred in theatre productions at the Alliance Theatre, the Children's Theatre Company in Minneapolis and at Beverly Hills High School, including stagings of: A Christmas Carol, Peter Pan, Oliver!, Macbeth, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, On Golden Pond, Tom Sawyer, Grease, and Amadeus (in which he played Mozart). His on-screen debut came at the age of twelve in A Time for Miracles starring Lorne Greene.[4]

In 1989, Fine gained attention as the mute and bald Pony Express rider Ike McSwain, on ABC's Western series The Young Riders. Fine left the show early in the third and last season, when his character was killed trying to protect the girl that he loved.

Fine has guest-starred on episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Family Law, The Lazarus Man, JAG, Quantum Leap, and Vengeance Unlimited. He has appeared in TV movies and miniseries, including The President's Man, Shake, Rattle and Roll: An American Love Story, Menendez: A Killing in Beverly Hills (playing Erik Menéndez), and Cruel Doubt.

His film appearances include The Thin Red Line, Girl, Interrupted, and the strict school leader in Child's Play 3.

Fine sold his first screenplay, The Lords of the Sea (written in 1994), to Howard Koch Jr., after which he was hired to write episodes for Diagnosis: Murder and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. In 1996, he attended the New York Film Academy, where he wrote, directed and produced several short films. A year later, he wrote, produced and directed his first feature-length film, The Others, a high school comedy.[5]

In 2002, Fine started a new career in commercial aviation by attending ATP flight school. In 2003, he was hired as a first officer flying Embraer regional jets for Chatauqua Airlines, although he said he "ha[s] not ruled out doing more acting" and he continues writing screenplays.[6]

In the fall of 2009, Fine wrote and directed The Space Between, starring Melissa Leo. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, won the Grand Prize at the Heartland International Film Festival and then aired on USA Network as a commercial-free event movie on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

In 2012, Fine co-wrote, produced and directed Any Day Now, an LGBT film set in the 1970s, starring Alan Cumming, Garret Dillahunt, Isaac Leyva, and Frances Fisher. The film was shot by Academy Award nominee Rachel Morrison and edited by Academy Award winner Tom Cross. Before its US release, Any Day Now won over 20 Audience and Best Picture at film festivals all over the world, including the Tribeca Film Festival, Chicago International Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival, Outfest and Woodstock Film Festival.The film was also recognized by the prestigious LGBTQ+ rights organization GLAAD with their 2013 Media Award for Best Film.

Any Day Now also became a cultural phenomenon in Japan, with long lines at theatre, huge box office numbers, a one-plus-year theatrical run, and unprecedented media coverage for an indie film. Any Day Now was remade in Korea, and in 2020 had its world premiere as a hit stage musical in Japan directed by renowned theatre director Amon Miyamoto.

In 2019, Fine wrote, produced, directed and edited Two Eyes, a cinematic triptych set in 1868, 1979 and 2023. An LGBTQ+ film which explores the themes of gender, love, grief, and the power of art to transcend time and create change, the three seemingly unrelated narratives are ultimately interwoven into a single storyline that reveals the deep and eternal connection between all of the characters in all three time periods. The film stars Kate Bornstein, Ryan Cassata, Kiowa Gordon, Benjamin Rigby, Lily Gladstone, Uly Schlesinger, Jessica Allain, Nakhane and Joshua Leonard.

Two Eyes had its world premiere as the closing night film at Outfest and was hailed by critics as "stunning", "awe inspiring" and "This is Us meets Brokeback Mountain". In his review, critic Glenn Gaylord dubbed Two Eyes an "Instant Classic" and his favorite LGBTQ+ film of the year.
