In 2008, Roiz landed the role of Sam Adama on Caprica, a spin-off of Battlestar Galactica.

On April 28, 2009, his role was expanded to series regular. Roiz stated in an interview that it was later revealed to him that his character would be gay, something he felt was an opportunity to explore the dynamic relationship of a gay character in a science fiction setting, as well as to explore the issue of homosexuality on a social level. In 2012, he guest-starred in the second season of the Jane Espenson scripted romantic comedy web series Husbands.
From 2011 to 2017, Roiz became a series-regular on Grimm, a supernatural/fantasy police procedural drama produced by Universal Television for NBC, staying on the regular cast for all 6 seasons of the show.
