He has also had various voice roles, including a recurring role of Jack Pumpkinhead Jr. in several straight-to-video The Oz Kids films, and that of Ithicles in the 1997 Disney movie Hercules. In 1999, Metchik made his directorial debut with the short film Jenny, which won the 2000 Reel Frontier Award for Best Long Short Take. He wrote, produced, directed, and starred in Ten Years Later, a film scheduled for release in 2009.
