In the meantime, he also made his film debut in the 2004 feature film “Cross Bronx”, followed by the comedy “When Do We Eat?” (2005), with Michael Lerner and Lesley Ann Warren. He didn’t appear on film again until 2014, when he returned with three entries: he reprised his role as Leo D’Amato in the cinematic conclusion to the series, joined the cast of the comedy film “They Came Together” alongside Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler, and played Josh in the independent drama film “About Alex”, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. His net worth was rising steadily.
