At the tender age of fourteen, Huggy's life took an unexpected turn when his mother, driven by her unwavering enthusiasm, brought him to a cattle-call audition in New York for the Warner Brothers feature "Lean on Me". The audition, which was held for the role of Thomas Sams, was met with an overwhelming response, with a line that wrapped around three city blocks, causing Huggy and his mother to become increasingly discouraged, on the verge of leaving. However, fate had other plans, as the film's writer, Michael Schiffer, happened to be walking by, and his eyes landed on Huggy's unique look, prompting him to bring the young actor to the front of the line to meet the producers and the director. Needless to say, Huggy's talent and charm won over the hearts of the producers, and he booked the job, marking the beginning of his illustrious acting career.
Huggy's subsequent projects solidified his status as a rising star, with his next film, "Juice", helmed by Ernest R. Dickerson, featuring him alongside an impressive cast, including Samuel L. Jackson, Queen Latifah, 'Dr. Dre', Omar Epps, and the late Tupac Shakur. His next venture was the HBO worldwide release "Strapped", which marked Forest Whitaker's directorial debut. Huggy's momentum continued to build as he went on to carry his first film, "Phat Beach", from start to finish. The following two years were equally rewarding, with Huggy working on episodes of "Murder One", "Moesha", and six episodes as Dupree on "The Wayans Brothers" series, before concluding production on his next film, "How to Be a Player", starring alongside Bill Bellamy and comedian Pierre Edwards.
