Having accomplished his goal Uriah returned his full attention to acting, where he began working on TV shows, includingWithout a Trace, The Ghost Whisperer, The Nanny Express,opposite day,A Soldier’s Love Story,Justified, Last Man Standing, Girl Meets World.and the independent feature Alabama Moon.
