However after his dad tragically passed away when he began his studies, the star realised it wasn't for him. 'All of a sudden, life felt really short, and it felt really important that I figured out what I wanted to do,' he told The Hollywood Reporter. Realising he was just doing the thing he felt he was 'supposed to be doing' and following the trajectory to work in corporate America he decided to change his path. He explained: 'As soon as I considered what that would look like and that there was a possibility of doing anything else, I got the hell out of there because I knew I was going to be miserable.'

In 2022 he starred in Netflix's romantic drama film, Along For The Ride. However things then took a dip, and during the actors strike he only worked a few days across two years as he admitted things dried up and he struggled. It was therefore a big relief when he got the call to star in Until Dawn alongside Odessa A'Zion in 2025, but it seems his big break has truly come with Off Campus.As soon as he booked the role, Belmont hit the ice in order to be able to convincingly play the ice hockey college star and dived into the role. Counting his blessings he said: 'There’s nowhere else I’d rather be. It’s the coolest thing, and I’m hoping this show will garner attention and that may help me in audition rooms and meetings with directors. But what’s more important to me is that my reputation says that I’m somebody good to work with.'
