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 starring actor/director Clark Johnson. 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.
