Ashworth began training in martial arts, particularly Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, in 1993. He also earned two Associates' degrees, Criminal Justice & General Studies, and a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice.[1] He made his acting debut in 2000, in the low-budget sci-fi film Aquarius. He followed this up with a number of small roles in higher budget films such as Cecil B. DeMented, The Replacements and The Watcher before eventually landing a regular role on The Wire's second season in 2003. He has since appeared in numerous other films and television series including Without a Trace, The Lost Room and Terminator Salvation.
