He is a graduate of Vanier College,[1] where he played football and was given a full scholarship to play at Boston College.

Walker appeared in the 2007 Lifetime film Abducted: Fugitive for Love portraying the charismatic Jack Carlson, which was a huge hit among the female demographic. Subsequently Walker acquired a large fan base. He went on to guest star on ER, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Without a Trace and The Big Bang Theory.

In 2010, he guest-starred in the Fox comedy series Sons of Tucson, starred in the historic Canadian film The Mountie, the Spaghetti Western film The Gundown, and was associate producer for the film Dug Up.
