Dorsey's first film appearance came in the raunchy 2000 college comedy "Road Trip." That same year he appeared in an episode of the series "The Jersey" (Disney Channel 1999-2004). Throughout the 2000s, Dorsey appeared in a wide range of television and film projects, including "Juwanna Mann" (2002), "Drumline" (2002), "Yes, Dear" (CBS, 2000-06), "Entourage" (HBO, 2004-11), and "The Blind Side" (2009). In 2010 Dorsey landed a recurring role on crime drama "Rizzoli & Isles" (TNT 2010-16). He followed this up the following year with the role of Dontel Benjamin on comedy series "Eastbound & Down" (HBO 2009-13). Dorsey also appeared as civil rights activist James Orange in Ava DuVernay's film "Selma" (2014), about the Alabama Civil Rights marches.
