Gould received second billing in the 2007 feature documentary Strictly Background, which won the Jury Award for Best Documentary at the San Fernando Valley International Film Festival. He played the role of Patrick in the 2013 feature film "Live-In Fear" (retitled as "Consumption" for its direct-to-DVD release, for which Wikipedia disallows citing), and the lead role of Victor Harland in the 2015 comedy fantasy noir thriller independent feature film "Everything," principal photography for which was finally completed in late October 2015. In late 2016 the MPAA officially granted the submitted feature "Everything" with a soft "R" rating.

Since January 2011, Gould has been co-host for the weekly live round-table discussion format online radio talk show The Paranormal View on Para-X radio, each edition of which he writes a synopsis as an indepenedent report page on his official site, each on which he provides links to the guests' sites, books, promotional information, etc., and on which that specific show's archived broadcast is embedded for replay.

In the autumn of 2016, Gould was cast as the "Kindly Old Man" in "The Tension Experience", a 24-room labyrinthal live, horror immersive theater experience directed and co-written by movie writer/director Darren Lynn Bousman. After several weeks of rehearsal, the show ran weekends from Friday September 8, 2016. to Saturday November 12th, 2016, plus a special invitation-only Grand Finale performance the next day, Sunday November 13, 2016. Each sold-out evening contained four (occasionally five) two-hour performances overlapping each other; When the first group were an hour into the experience, the next group would enter and the new performance would begin for them. Due to its high demand, Thursday evening performances were occasionally added. The total number of performance nights was thirty, of which many had four, several having five performances, every single performance of which Gould performed his role that, originally scripted as a one-on-one scene (one in twelve per show actually experienced Gould's Kindly Old Man room), as attendance grew, about a third of the performances, Gould had two participants with which to do a scene designed for one on one, creating a dynamic to come across organically real for two as well as had it been just a single participant.

In February 2017, Gould was attached to the new, in development ForbiddenTears Production's major motion picture project The Mansfield Killings, based on the true events, novelized by author Scott Fields, produced by Jennifer Dawn and Mario Prado, slated for principal photography to begin in 2018, in Arkansas, and in Mansfield Ohio, where the original murders took place.
