In 2015 he landed a recurring role on the TV mini-series "Flesh and Bone" (Starz, 2015), which was set in the world of professional ballet. Then in 2016 Truvillion nabbed his breakout television role when he began playing D-Major on the Fox music drama "Empire." Truvillion played D-Major on 11 episodes of the series.
