Invested in acting in mature roles, Ford starred in the horror flick "Maneater" and "Beneath the Darkness" in which he co-starred alongside Dennis Quaid. He created Rekon Media, a small production house that works with Funny or Die and Machinima. The production consists of short films where Ford along with friends would feature in and submits the content to a variety of competitions. In 2012, Ford portrayed Matt Daehler on MTV's hit series "Teen Wolf". "Teen Wolf" is a TV series lightly based on the 1985 film of the same name. Prior to joining the cast for the second season, Ford has stated his reluctance in accepting the role. His interview with Ology (website) elaborates that after seeing the promotions on "Teen Wolf", Ford thought the series was a "joke". After watching a few episodes, Ford was pleased by the content and eventually appeared in the series. This has been his most notable success, leading to a large social following on Twitter and Instagram.
