Nemec was inspired to become an actor after watching the children's film The Goonies at the age of 13, for which his father had done the art direction.[2][3] He also cites his parents' artistic professions as a major influence, and that acting "seemed the right thing to do".[3]

During the 1990s, Nemec had a brief foray into hip-hop,[5] recording an entire album with the group Starship of Foolz, developed by Matt Robinson and Dedra Tate, and produced by actor Balthazar Getty. Nemec also produced a new comic series that starred Paul Mooney, father of fellow Starship of Foolz member Shane Mooney, as the president of the United States. He also appeared in the music video "Beer for My Horses" by Toby Keith and Willie Nelson.
From 2002 to 2004, he appeared as Jonas Quinn on Stargate SG-1, temporarily replacing Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) in the line-up of the SG-1 team.
In January 2013, while working on the film Poseidon Rex, Nemec was involved in a boating accident.
