Sisto then starred in Artisan Entertainment's black comedy/thriller, Suicide Kings (1997) with Christopher Walken and Denis Leary, as a morphine-addicted medical student drawn into a plot to kidnap a local mobster.
Jeremy Sisto's flair for creating compelling yet charming characters attracted award-winning writer Alan Ball to create a role for Sisto on his HBO series, Six Feet Under. Sisto returns to the show for a fourth season as Billy Chenowith, the charismatic manic-depressive, whose unpredictable mood swings wreak havoc on his sister, played by Rachel Griffiths.
