Dr Likee is known for his range in Kumawood. The actor has taken up various roles in Kumawood skits.

Last year, a movie with Dr Likee acting as an AI-powered robot was released.

In 2024, Dr Likee sent social media into a frenzy after he hinted at ending his acting career after returning from the UK with his protégé, Kyekyeku.

He and his colleagues, including Vivian Jill Lawrence, Nana Ama McBrown, Clemento Suarez, and Foster Romanus, participated in a stage play performance at gospel musician Nacee's Kavod concert at the Dominion Centre in London.
