After modeling for three years in New York and Milan, including a major campaign for Guess Jeans, Agim landed his first television role on CBS's As the World Turns in April 2002. In March 2004, the then 24–year old actor received his first Daytime Emmy nomination, in the category Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series.
