Trivia
Came into acting while doing a favor for a friend, who asked him to fill in for an actor who failed to show up for his friend's film shoot. Following this experience, he started taking acting classes during his off hours from work.

Quotes
[on his role in Downton Abbey (2010)] It's a dream job because it's completely the other side of the spectrum, particularly as it carries on. My character gets nastier.
