In 1990, through a friend, he was able to meet the famed fashion photographer Bruce Weber.

A director of the daytime soap opera, "Another World", noticed Mitch's modeling shots in fashion magazines, and she was interested. In 1991, he was hired for his first professional acting job, young attorney Byron Pierce. His personality and looks, including his beautiful long flowing mane of hair, were a hit with the fans of "Another World". Mitch stayed at the soap for a year and then left of his own accord.

It was now the spring of 2000. The CBS hit series, "Judging Amy", soon came calling. Mitch auditioned for the fun role of a JFK type lawyer, and won the role. He appeared in seven episodes of this series, and while there, a second calling opened up to him. His co star at JA, Tyne Daly, encouraged him to study vocal performance, after she was impressed with his singing voice. Ms. Daly recommended him to her very own vocal teachers. In 2001, he began singing lessons, and vowed to perform in his own concert featuring famous songs. Mitch's role on Judging Amy came to an end, and in 2003, he took the part of Mitch Sassen, surveillance expert extraordinaire, on the NBC series "Las Vegas".
