Lake was an ascending star throughout his many years at the festival, including a musical performance as Guy in "Once" in 2015 and playing Macbeth in "Macbeth" during the 2016 season.

Around that time, his Macbeth performance was filmed for the screen in "Macbeth" (2017), releasing in theatres to much acclaim. A variety of other roles feel into place for Lake around that time, including turns on "The Girlfriend Experience" (Starz 2016- ), "Mary Kills People" (Global 2017- ), and "Workin' Moms" (CBC 2017- ), appearing as recurring characters on all three throughout 2017 and 2018.
