At age 25, he made his acting debut when he played Bill Drake in the 1997 episode "Soulmate" from the television series Pacific Blue.
Since then he has appeared in a number of series in guest roles, for example in Profiler, The West Wing, Judging Amy, JAG, Charmed, Crossing Jordan, NCIS, Life, Criminal Minds, Private Practice, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Castle, NCIS: Los Angeles, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Nikita, The Night Shift, Justified, The Mysteries of Laura and Hell's 9th Circle.
Pierce took on his most famous role to date in 2005 in Charlie Jade, in which he played the title role. Pierce has also appeared repeatedly in series such as Close to Home, The Nine, Alcatraz, Cult, The Tomorrow People, Drop Dead Diva and Bosch. His film appearances include works such as S1m0ne, The Foreigner and The Double.
In addition to his acting activities, Pierce also regularly lends his voice to video game characters or provides the movement model. It can be heard more often in the original, especially in the Call of Duty video game series.
He then provided the voice and motion-capture of the character Tommy Miller in the video game, The Last of Us, which became his most prominent role. Originally, Pierce auditioned for the role of Joel Miller, which was later given to fellow castmate Troy Baker. When the team was required to cast an actor for the role of Tommy, they immediately contacted Pierce, as they were impressed by his audition.[4] He then reprised his role in its 2020 sequel The Last of Us Part II, for which he was nominated for Performer in a Supporting Role at the 17th British Academy Games Awards.
