In 2001, he became the special SHUE agent in the face of charming thieves embodied by John Stamos and Melissa George, until the series was removed from the antenna after 8 episodes.

He returned soon after with a recurring role in Hôpital San Francisco (2002), before settling in the Caravan de l'Enrange (2003) where he played a radio host at the beginning of the century. After a detour by the experts: Miami (2004) and Point Pleasant (2005), the actor lets himself be locked up in the prison Break prison (2005) where he tries to join the escape plan of Wentworth Miller. It is his role as Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell who reveals him on the international scene and opens the door to many projects on small and big screen, including the Europacorp Hitman productions and the transporter III (in which he plays the bad guys service against Jason Statham).
