Band mate Bill Mumy ("Will Robinson" on the television classic Lost In Space) cast him as a drummer in his first television role, in the series Sunshine. He only took the role because Mumy talked him into it.

Ferrer also provided the voice of "Tarakudo" on Jackie Chan Adventures during the fourth season. In 2003, Ferrer made his New York stage debut in the Off-Broadway production of The Exonerated and in 2005, he starred in the film The Man.
Ferrer loves to golf and ski, and every year he helps to organize a golf tournament fundraiser for the UCLA Children's Hospital. He also finds time to play club dates with Mumy and their band The Jenerators.
