BBC's 2004 adaptation of North & South, and the Doctor Who
episode "Gridlock" as Milo.
At the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, he played the title
character in the Fringe First nominated one-man show,
Diamond Johnny Ray, by Cathianne Hall.
2009 will see his first appearance in a major feature film,
playing the American actor John Hoyt in Me and Orson Welles,
directed by Richard Linklater. |
