Once in California, he signed with a modeling company, and featured in various commercial and print projects, at the same time doing a bit of modeling for Rochester.

He also appeared in Bollywood films in brief roles. These were “Anjaana Anjaani”, in which he appeared alongside his wife, and “My Name is Khan” as Officer Vaughn.
