His next movie role was in 2007's The Bucket List as an instructor to Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman's characters in one of the scenes. In 2009, he followed that up with a minor part in The Hangover, appeared in the independent film Lollipops and starred in Tekken as Kazuya Mishima. In 2010, he appeared in the film Flying Lessons. In 2010, he also portrayed Scorpion in the short film of Mortal Kombat: Rebirth on YouTube.[7] The film paved way for a web series, Mortal Kombat: Legacy, in which Dale reprised his role. He reprised his role in the second season.

During his time on Hawaii Five-0 Dale was also cast in series regular roles on Murder in the First as Jim Koto and in Salvation, to portray Harris Edwards.[15][16] Both roles were held for the entirety of both series run; three seasons from 2014–2016 and two seasons from 2017–2018, respectively.[17][18] Other roles during this time included guest stints on The Mentalist[19] and American Horror Story: Coven,[20] two-episode story arcs on Emily Owens, M.D.[21] and Hart of Dixie,[22] and the unsold television adaptation of Delirium.[23]
