His abilities on full display, he went on to star in Michael Armstrong's iconic "Mark Of The Devil". This success led to work with acclaimed directors such as Paul Morrissey, Dario Argento, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. His career in America began when he was offered the role of "My Own Private Idaho" by Gus Van Sant at the Berlin Film Festival.
