He is also known for his starring role in the Sky One period drama series ‘Jamestown’, set in the 17th Century when the first British settlers arrived in Virginia, playing the brave and charming Silas Sharrow. The show ran for 3 seasons from 2017-2018.
Other major TV roles include starring as Tony in the much-loved 2014 Channel 4 comedy crime drama series ‘Babylon’, set within the Met Police, opposite James Nesbitt and Nicola Walker; and in 2016 playing the leading role of Lorenzo de Medici in the first series of Netflix’s Renaissance drama ‘Medici’, starring opposite Richard Madden. In 2024 he can be heard as the voice of warrior King Leif in Netflix animation series 'Twilight of the Gods', directed by Zack Snyder with music by Hans Zimmer.
Film highlights include a role in the award winning, critically acclaimed 2018 British film ‘Only You’ which won The Critics’ Award at the 30th Dinard Film Festival, two BIFA Awards, a Writers' Guild Award and was nominated for a BAFTA and a Scottish BAFTA.
