He has been involved with professional theatre since 1978, and has performed at The Playhouse, The Arts Club and numerous theatres in British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta. The last live stage production he did was A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, where he played Milos Gloriosous. He also performed in Henry IV and As You Like It at The Playhouse, as well as Dracula and Passion at The Arts Club.
Most of his career has been in film and television; he currently has a recurring character on Cold Squad, for which he won Gemini Awards in two consecutive years, and until the close of its ninth season had a recurring role on the hit science-fiction series Stargate SG-1. He is also a veteran of over 1500 animated productions including Class of the Titans, Transformers and the 2002 remake of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
