Durand is well known as a chameleonic character actor and has played series regulars on shows such as James Cameron's Dark Angel as Joshua, Agent Jay Swopes in the American miniseries remake of Touching Evil, as well as guest roles on CSI, CSI: Miami, ER, Without a Trace, Dead Like Me and others.

His other film credits include the role of "Tree" Lane in Mystery, Alaska, Booth in Walking Tall, sidekick Red in Wild Hogs, the psychotic neo-nazi Jeeves Tremor in Smokin' Aces, the title role in Otis E., the Archangel Gabriel in Legion, Little John in Robin Hood and the hired thug Tucker in the remake of 3:10 to Yuma with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale.
