Segan’s credits include studio productions, such as starring in Lionsgate's Cabin Fever: Spring Fever, Fox's The Visitation, and a featured cameo in Johnson's The Brothers Bloom, opposite Mark Ruffalo.
In independent cinema, Segan has starred in What We Do Is Secret, opposite Shane West and Bijou Philips, a biopic about the life and times of seminal, legendary punk band The Germs. His lead performance in Deadgirl, opposite Shiloh Fernandez, from the producer of Heathers, resulted in Segan winning multiple awards after a prestigious premiere at The Toronto International Film Festival.
