Immediately after signing, Blake auditioned and landed his first co-star on BET's The Game. Shortly thereafter, he got a callback for the character of Ethan on USA Network'sNecessary Roughness where he impressed the room and had them laughing out loud, which led to booking the role.

After reading James Dashner's international bestselling adventure story, The Maze Runner, Blake related so well to the character of 'Chuck' that upon discovering a big screen adaptation in the works, he contacted Wes Ball through Twitter for the role.
