In his motion picture debut Bebe’s Kids, Faizon provided the voice of late great legendary comedian Robin Harris. That later led to a role in The Meteor Man starring Robert Townsend who then cast Love in a co-starring role on his sitcom The Parent ‘Hood.

Faizon's breakout performance was in the 1995 hit film Friday (Ice Cube, Chris Tucker). Follow up films include Elf (Will Ferrell), Couples Retreat (Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau) Money Talks (Chris Tucker), Blue Crush, Tourque (Ice Cube, Lawrence Fishburn), The Perfect Holiday (Charlie Murphy, Katt Williams), and Big Mommas (Martin Lawrence). Evidencing his strong music ties, he’s also appeared in Hip Hop driven films such as Idlewild (Outkast), and Who’s Your Caddy (Terry Crews, Sherri Shepherd).

His voiceover roles include the voices of “Bruce The Bear” in Zookeeper and “Sweet” in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. TV appearances include Black-Ish, Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, That’s So Raven, Real Husbands of Hollywood and The New Edition Story.

In 2018 Faizon ushered in the digital streaming age, by starring in YOUTUBE RED’S first, original scripted series Step Up: Highwater. Season 2 is currently available on the platform.
