Bailey is best known for taking on the character of Steve Williams in the TV show My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance in 2004, and for playing the recurring character of Joe, a bartender who owns a bar only referred to as "Joe's", on the American television medical drama Grey's Anatomy.

He has also been seen in a number of commercials.
Bailey grew up in Edmonds, Washington and became active in the drama department of Meadowdale High School in Lynnwood, Washington.
