He made Daytime television history in 2014 by being the first actor ever to win an Emmy in the Best Supporting Actor category for "Days of our Lives." His television credits expand into primetime (Extant, NCIS, Rizzoli & Isles), and his musical theatre repertoire consists of over 40 productions, including his critically acclaimed role as the Pharaoh in the Osmond Broadway Tour of Joseph. Fans of the DC Universe will most notably recognize him as Justice League member and futuristic hero Booster Gold from the series “Smallville”.”
