He appeared as Constable Matthew "Matt" Graham on the now-defunct Seven Network Australian police drama series Blue Heelers. He made his first appearance in the twelfth season (2005), yet because of the show's axing the next year, he only appeared in twenty-one episodes, the finale being broadcast in June 2006.
