He developed an interest in acting at a young age and pursued a career in the entertainment industry. Smith's breakthrough came when he was cast as the mischievous and manipulative god of war, Ares, in "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys," which aired from 1995 to 1999. His portrayal of Ares made him a fan favorite, and he became a recurring character in the series. Smith's on-screen chemistry with Kevin Sorbo, who played the lead role of Hercules, contributed to the show's success.
