Sexton made his film debut in
Todd Solondz's
Welcome to the Dollhouse playing the troubled bully Brandon McCarthy, for which he was nominated for an
Independent Spirit Award. He was the lead in
Hurricane Streets and
Desert Blue and also appeared in ''
Boys Don't Cry, Black Hawk Down, and Just Like the Son, as well as the cult films Empire Records and Pecker''. He also starred in
The Marconi Bros. alongside
Dan Fogler and in
Jonathan Blitstein's
Let Them Chirp Awhile alongside
Justin Rice. Sexton owns and operates a New York City-based
independent record label Big Bit of Beauty. In a 2002 radio interview, Sexton said that the version of the film
Black Hawk Down, in which he briefly appeared, which made it onto theater screens was significantly different from the one recounted in the original script. According to him, many scenes asking hard questions of the U.S. troops with regard to the violent realities of war, the true purpose of their mission in Somalia, etc., were cut out. ==Filmography==
