He eventually made his debut with a role in the 1985 movie entitled ‘’ Streetwalkin’’, portraying Duke.

He remained busy throughout the following period, and played the role of Denis DeBeau in “Dream Street” in 1989, and in the same year acted in the horror film ‘’ Pet Sematary’’, a movie adaptation of Stephen King’s novel of the same name, directed by Marie Lambert and also starring Fred Gwynne and Denise.
