As his acting career began to take shape in the mid-1980s, Novak's breakthrough performance came in 1994 when he shared the screen with the talented Brad Pitt in the film "Legends of the Fall".

However, it wasn't until the year 2001 that Novak's career truly gained momentum, as he landed the role of a villainous evil djinn in the film "Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell", a character that would become a defining aspect of his acting persona.
