His impressive performance led to interest from several Los Angeles agents and managers, and he was encouraged to come to LA for pilot season.
As his career continued to grow, Devon began working for Goldstar through New York agents such as Abrams Artists, Innovative Artists, and Generation TV, and continued to book jobs in the Philadelphia area. By winter 2009, he had signed with Goldstar.
In 2010, Devon booked his first national commercial, a radio and TV voiceover for Walmart, followed by a live TV appearance on Nickelodeon's World Wide Day of Play and a print job for Dell Interactive Learning.
