For his portrayal of Kevin in Stage Kiss, he was named a "Face to Watch" by The New York Times and nominated for an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Play. He has often worked with the Brooklyn-based theatre company The Debate Society, originating several roles. As a writer, in addition to creating and starring in the Writers Guild Award-winning web series Jack in a Box (2009–2012), he wrote and guest starred in an episode of the popular web series High Maintenance created by Katja Blichfeld & Ben Sinclair. The episode is called "Helen". He was a founding member of the New York Neo-Futurists and performed weekly in Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind.
