Singleton switched his course of study to communications and transferred to the University of Central Florida. While in Orlando he found a part time job as a caterer on the new Universal Studios lot.

Before long, Singleton was learning the stunt business, playing a lead role in Universal's "The Wild West Stunt Show" and then in Disney's "Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular."
"After earning his bachelor of arts, Singleton moved to Hollywood and once again worked for Universal at their theme park attraction, "Waterworld." Now a trained actor and stuntman, he soon booked his first role in front of the camera on Fox Television's "The X-Files."
