His film debut would come three years later in “The Long Island Incident”, in which he played the character Hugh. More opportunities opened up for him and his net worth started to increase. In 2000, he was a guest in an episode of “Relic Hunter”, before taking on a role in “Witchblade” the following year, appearing in two episodes as Hector “Moby” Mobius.
His popularity grew into the 2000s, as he was cast in more prominent roles. He played Jaffa in the film “Hidalgo” which was released in 2004, a biographical film based on the life of distance rider Frank Hopkins and his mustang named Hidalgo. Three years later, Mensah was cast in an iconic role in the film “300”, playing a Persian Messenger, based on the comic series of the same name created by Frank Miller, a fictionalized re-telling of the Battle of Thermopylae during the Persian Wars. In 2009, Mensah also made an appearance in the film “Avatar”. In 2008, he then became a part of the video game project entitled “Dead Space” as Sgt. Zach Hammond, providing the voice and likeness. His net worth was rising steadily.
