In 1993, Golden starred in the motion picture Cop and a Half with Burt Reynolds. His last known acting job was a television remake of Moby-Dick in 1998 because he wanted to make a bigger focus on his education. [1]

For a period, he performed as a rapper known as Enormus. [2] However, in a 2024 interview he referred to his period as a professional rapper as a "phase" that he is no longer pursuing professionally and now instead retains a "hobby". [3]
