That year he also played a preacher's psychopathic son in Phedon Papamichael's thriller From Within. In 2009 he took the lead in April Showers, an independent drama drawn from the Columbine shootings, then became known as Aaron Stone on a Disney XD series, and TBS cast him as the lead of its first hour-long comedy, Glory Daze, in 2010.
