At age 17, he attended Michigan's Interlochen Arts Academy.[4] He then studied drama at Northwestern University (north of Chicago in Evanston, Illinois),[4] graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1995.[4][5]

From there, he became better known to American audiences for his roles as Diego on the NBC sitcom Jesse, starring Christina Applegate; as attorney Joe Rivera in the Showtime series Leap Years; and for a recurring guest role as Dr. Eddie Dorset on ER. In 2004, he joined the cast of Nip/Tuck playing plastic surgeon Quentin Costa.
In 2010, he made a guest appearance in Private Practice. In Season 3 Episode 15, he played the brief boyfriend of Charlotte King, and is accused of abusing OxyContin. Campos also had a recurring role, during the first season of Royal Pains, as Charlie Casey, the ex-husband of one of the lead characters, Jill Casey.
He voiced the character of Prince Naveen in the Disney film, The Princess and the Frog, which was released in 2009 and went on to be nominated for three Academy Awards.[6] In 2022, it was announced that he would reprise the role in the attraction Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland.[7]

After passing the bar, he was an associate with the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.[5] According to his profile, he "represents client policyholders in a wide range of industries in complex insurance recovery matters", as well as "provid[ing] strategic guidance through the life of a claim, from claims presentation and mediation through disputes in courts and arbitrations."[5] As of 2023, he is listed as being with the firm Covington & Burling.[9]
