That same year, he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the romantic comedy The Perfect Pickup (2020), which achieved worldwide distribution through Bayview Entertainment and Shoreline Entertainment. Rook went on to appear in major feature films including Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)-as task-force officer Richard Aiken-and Dangerous (2021) opposite Mel Gibson.
