His early professional endeavors included a small role as a gang member in Joseph B. Vasquez's film The Bronx War. While residing in Miami, he responded to an ad for improvisers and auditioned for the "Laughing Gas" Improv comedy troupe, where he quickly rose through the ranks to become a company member.
As his career progressed, Gene began to find work in television and film. He was cast as a killer in the TV pilot/movie The Disciples, alongside Eva Mendez and Ice-T. His performance in Luis Saumell's award-winning Spanish language short film "Por Que'" received critical acclaim.
In 1998, Gene co-founded the "Just the Funny" comedy Improv troupe in Miami, which has since become South Florida's number one improv comedy troupe and training facility. When visiting Miami, he often performs with the troupe. Additionally, he joined the "Freestyle Repertory Theatre" in New York City, where he performed both long and short form improv in 1999.
Gene's breakthrough role came in 2002 when he landed the part of "Rodriguez," one of a pair of Spanish-speaking ball players, in Richard Greenberg's play "Take Me Out."
