Eventually, he returned to his artistic roots, graduating from the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, where he studied under the guidance of renowned instructors such as Jonathon Bolt, Susan Pilar, and Barbara Rubin.

During his time at the academy, Doc had the opportunity to hone his craft through various roles, including Eddie in Sam Shepard's 'Fool For Love', Hal Carter in William Inge's 'Picnic', and his personal favorite, Roo Webber in Ray Lawler's 'Summer of the Seventeenth Doll', which required him to master an Australian accent using phonetics.

His latest role is Jack in Daniel J. Egbert's 'There's Something In The Trunk', which is set to premiere at festivals in 2018.
