He made his big screen debut in Billy Bob Thornton's acclaimed, Academy Award winning film, Sling Blade (also appearing in the original short film, They Call It A Sling Blade). He reunited with Thornton (with whom he has worked six times) in Oliver Stone's U-Turn, Madison John Badham's HBO western, The Jack Bull. He was recently seen in the Farrelly Bros.' comedy, Say It Isn't So and in Renny Harlin's action film, Driven.
Briscoe's own original screenplay, Waking Up in Reno (co-authored with partner Mark Fauser) will be released in February through Miramax Films.

Briscoe even wrote a recurring part for himself, one of several he has played on television. Other small-screen credits include the pilot for ABC's Maximum Bob, HBO's popular Tracey Takes On, a guest stint on ER and the pilot for the CBS sitcom, Hearts Afire (again with Thornton).
