After graduation, he booked his first television series, Queen Sugar, and has been working professionally in film and television ever since. Aspen's profound interest in stories that impact hearts and inspire change is evident in his work. He believes that storytelling is not only about entertaining, but also about understanding, healing, and empathy.
Aspen is set to make his debut as the lead on the silver screen in "The Forge" (Sony Pictures),which is scheduled to release on August 23, 2024. The film takes place in the same cinematic world as 'War Room', the Kendrick Brothers' 2015 hit film that claimed the #1 spot on the North American box office charts ($74 million).
In addition to his work in "The Forge", Aspen is also slated as a lead in the upcoming western, "Florida Wild", a film that delves into the historical cattle drive movement of the 1880s.
