His first role was on the spy series "La Femme Nikita" in 1997. It took him three years to land his next role, when he appeared as a medical assistant on the science-fiction series "First Wave," as well as in two episodes of the family comedy "2gether: The Series," about a fictional boy-band. The next year, he appeared on the series "The Sausage Factory," as well as in two TV movies, "Shotgun Love Dolls" and "The Wedding Dress." His first big-screen role came in 2002 when he appeared in "Heart of America," inspired by the Columbine high school massacre.
