He began his career in theatre, winning the Ian Charleson Award in 1992 for his performance as Witwoud in The Way of the World at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. He is known for his roles in comedic films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and In the Loop and drama films such as Enigma, Pride & Prejudice, Gosford Park and Hanna. He played the lead role in the sitcom Rev., which won the British Academy Television Award for best sitcom in 2011. He also starred in the BBC series The Night Manager and ITV's Doctor Thorne.
From September 2016 (until 19 November 2016) he portrayed Henry Carr in a revival of Tom Stoppard's sold-out play Travesties at the Menier Chocolate Factory, directed by Patrick Marber.
