Career

In 1992, Golden became a series regular on Fox's True Colors. The sitcom, about an interracial family and their learning to co-exist, was canceled shortly after Golden's arrival in the second season. In 1993, Golden starred in the motion picture Cop and a Half with Burt Reynolds. His last known acting job was a television remake of Moby-Dick in 1998 because he wanted to make a bigger focus on his education.[1]

For a period, he performed as a rapper known as Enormus.[2] However, in a 2024 interview he referred to his period as a professional rapper as a "phase" which he is no longer pursuing professionally and now instead retains a "hobby".[3]
