His natural bass tone earned him a lot of attention, and caught the attention of an agent that led Segers to be cast as Mufasa in the Australian production of The Lion King. He went on to star in the American and Chinese productions as well.^[2]

In 2010, Segers gained a main role on Pair of Kings as Mason Makoola.
