Career
Mukadam started his career as a child actor, starring in several Canadian television series, including Mythic Warriors: Guardians of the Legend, Anne of Green Gables: The Animated Series, and Degrassi: The Next Generation. He transitioned into more mature roles with his performance as high school student Ray Brennan in the Family Channel television series Radio Free Roscoe (2003–2005).
In 2015, Mukadam starred in the independent film People Hold On, as part of an ensemble cast that included Chloe Rose, Katie Boland, and Paula Brancati, which was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award.

Developed by Ley Lukins who served as co-showrunner and co-executive producer alongside Adam Pettle, The Detail was a 10-episode adaptation of the UK smash Scott & Bailey and starred Grimes-Beech as street-smart Detective Jacqueline “Jack” Cooper, who has keen investigative skills but a messy personal life. It was cancelled after one season.
