He had his first credited role in the 2002 film King Rikki. At the same time, he had recurring characters as Patrick Fortado on All Souls and Jorge on Resurrection Blvd.

He gained wider recognition for his role as Eric Delko on CSI: Miami, which he starred in from 2002-2012. Simultaneously, he had performances in the movies Love & Debate, Splinter, Take, and I Can Do Bad All By Myself. In the 2010s, he continued his film career with roles in Let the Game Begin and Caught in the Crossfire. He later starred as Tito in the box-office hit Magic Mike, garnering him more popularity.

He’s also had recurring roles as Dr. Joseph “Joey” Chavez on The Night Shift and Jonathan Chavez on Jane the Virgin.

For his role as Tito in Magic Mike, the actor upped his workout routine to improve his physique. “I just knew [the rest of the cast] was going to show up ready to kill, and I didn’t want to be the weak link,” said the actor. Though he only had six weeks to get ready, he managed to get buff just in time with the help of his trainer. During this period, he worked out six days a week and spent two hours doing cardio workouts for a leaner body. “I was benching 275 for five, maxing out my squats at like 350, 375. I felt great,” the Criminal Minds actor revealed.
