Television appearances include Touched by an Angel, Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Fringe.[3]

In 1996, Fleiss was awarded The Hollywood Reporter's YoungStar Award for Best Performance by a Young Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries for his performance in A Mother's Prayer opposite Linda Hamilton.[5] He was named Jane magazine's "Star of Tomorrow" in 2002 and Nylon magazine's "Next Ed Norton".[vague]
