He was cast and since that day has gone on to act in close to 100 commercials including lending his voice to numerous voice-overs. His break out role in film came in 1995 when he was cast as the gay boxer Curtis in the acclaimed and award winning film Rude. Since then Junior has gone on to work in several films and television episodes along side the likes of Ed Harris, Diane Lane, actor/director Rob Morrow, Wesley Snipes, Dash Mihok, Anne Heche, Rob Estes and Josie Bissette of Melrose Place fame.
