With roles that include two seasons in BBC America and Tom Fontana's "Copper"; starring in cult horrors, "The Conspiracy" and "The Void"; and leading opposite Donald and Kiefer Sutherland in the TIFF 2015 gala "Forsaken", Aaron's opportunities have begun to expand outside his home country.

Next, Aaron will be supporting Dylan O'Brien in "The Education Of Fredrick Fitzell" and James Badge Dale in "The Empty Man" from Disney/20th Century Studios. He recently wrapped the David Bowie origin story "Stardust" in which he portrays the legendary guitarist Mick Ronson. Aaron's debut short as a director, Oracle, premiered at TIFF 2019 and Slamdance 2020, also winning the Grand Prix National at Montreal's Festival du Nouveau Cinéma before touring festivals around the world.
