His first appearance onscreen was as a Cockroach in a pesticide commercial. Since that time Amari has appeared in numerous union and non-union independent films, and TV.
His two scripts, "The Greatest" and "Cloudy All Day" were finalists at Actors Theatre of Louisville National 10-Minute Play Contest in 1992 and 1993.
