Payne appeared as Nathan Davidson, a married, sexually-repressed father in the 2008 film Mulligans, a role of which Payne stated in 2016, "It is still one of my proudest efforts". He also appeared as Dollar Bill in Watchmen.
Payne starred as Cesar Divine in the web based television series Divine:The Series that stretched four episodes.
