He has worked on several television films, including the role of Sergeant Bruce Hornsby in the drama Red Cap . He also appeared on the BBC Scotland soap opera River City .

In 2007 he tore his ligament while filming Robin Hood . When he was admitted to a hospital in Budapest, he wore the movie costume but had removed his pants to cool the injury with ice. Because of his looks and the fact that he doesn't speak Hungarian, the hospital staff mistook him for a tramp.
