He moved to Australia drilling for oil and gas in the Cooper Basin, then came back to England but could not get a place at drama school. Eventually, he was accepted for ARTTS International in Bubwith, East Riding of Yorkshire.

Films he has appeared in include The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, From Hell and, most notably, The Mummy Returns where he played Red Willits. He also appeared in Heartbeat in 1998 and as Robbie Jackson's father Gary Bolton in EastEnders in 2001.
