[5] Released directly to video, the film earned over US$18 million worldwide. [6]

In 2014 he landed bigger recurring roles on two critically acclaimed TV shows: VH1's 90s nostalgia dramedy Hindsight and The CW's post-apocalyptic drama The 100 . Showrunner Jason Rothenberg and writer Kim Shumway liked what Talley did with the character, the engineer Kyle Wick, so much that they developed a bigger story arc for him in season 2. [7]
