He continued to line up success after success during the 1990s, increasing his net worth further by appearing in films such as “Drop Zone” (1994), “Waterworld” (1995) starring alongside Kevin Costner, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Dennis Hopper, and in “The Real Thing” (1996).

Early in my career, having many visible tattoos created obstacles and presented quite a challenge to move forward. I've heard comments like, 'actors don't have tattoos.' The notion of type casting was a reoccurring theme despite my passion toward creativity and personal expression.

(On working with Steven Seagal) They say timing is everything and with this came the action star, Steven Seagal. His impact on the action genre was groundbreaking and unique. A significant break for me was when I was invited by Steven to participate in a series of films that to this day are landmark action movies like Hard to Kill and Out For Justice, both released by Warner Brothers.
