From the late 2000s onwards, his career shifted to mostly direct-to-video productions. He made his directorial debut with the crime thriller Dark Country (2009), in which he also starred. He starred in the well-received films 1922 (2017) and Bosco (2024). For his work in the television series Hung, Jane was nominated for three Golden Globe Awards. His voice acting work includes the video games The Punisher and Gun (both 2005).
