On television he is best known as Terry Tarbell in Rutherford Falls (2021–2022, 18 episodes) and has appeared in True Detective (S3), Fear the Walking Dead, I Know This Much Is True, and 1923. He is also the first Indigenous professor in the Department of Theatre at York University. He is married to ballet dancer Nancy Latoszewski; they have two children.
