Eventually, Watson began landing small parts in film and television, including "The Handmaid's Tale" (1990) and "Sommersby" (1993, as the drifter who reveals Richard Gere's true identity). The driving not only provided him with access to actors on set, but also proved enough of a financial windfall to let him lease out several trucks and use the income to pursue acting auditions on a full-time basis.

Watson then became a driver for film productions that were shooting in the region, including "Mississippi Burning" (1988) and "Steel Magnolias" (1989). He directed theater for the Tennessee Performing Arts Center and the Bessie Smith Foundation and also taught acting at the Georgia State Penitentiary.

Inspired by his early success, he went on to appear in countless plays and musicals in the area while teaching reading and writing as part of Berea College's literacy outreach program.Watson eventually relocated to various locations in the South over the next few years, continuing to act and direct while maintaining day jobs. His professor, who was also the Dramatic Lab director, announced that he was looking for new talent for an upcoming production of "The Taming of the Shrew." Watson summoned his courage, auditioned, and landed the lead role of Petruchio.
The transfer required Watson to take a freshman speech course. The instrument gave him a taste for performing and his talent earned him a music stipend to Louisiana Tech, where he studied for two years before transferring to Berea College in Kentucky. Born in Alexandria, VA, Watson and his three siblings were raised by their mother and maternal grandfather - the latter of whom provided him with his first creative outlet in the form of a clarinet.
