Sudarso was a suit-actor for Power Rangers Samurai and Power Rangers Megaforce [4] before he was finally cast in a main role as Koda for Power Rangers Dino Charge.

He was cast as the lead in Mike Wiluan's Indonesian-language spaghetti western film Buffalo Boys. The film was the first project back in his home country.[5] The movie became Singapore's submission for the Oscars Foreign Film category.[6]

In August 2018, he joined the cast of the Manila-set independent drama Empty by Design and starred alongside Rhian Ramos, Osric Chau and Chris Pang.[7] The same month, it was announced he joined the cast in a key supporting role in his second Indonesian-language project Milly & Mamet,[8] a spin-off from Riri Riza's popular "Ada Apa Dengan Cinta?" franchise, alongside Sissy Priscilla and Dennis Adhiswara.
