He was set to portray Joseph Merrick, the "Elephant Man," in a BBC drama, but ultimately the project was not produced.

Furthermore, in 2021, he starred opposite Catherine Keener in the independent film "No Future" and contributed to the critically acclaimed drama "The Souvenir Part II." On TV, he was last seen in "Soulmates," as Kurt.
