Career Homer's first television acting role was playing Tony Hills on EastEnders. He worked on the soap from 1995 to 1999. On playing the role, Homer (who is straight) told the Huffington Post in 2016: "My biggest challenge was making Tony Hills as believable as I could [...] I used to get so many letters from vulnerable teenagers who felt totally alone in the world. All of a sudden there was a person on the telly who they could identify with. I felt some kind of pressure to make sure everything was well represented. It was too important to get wrong."

Personal life Homer is married to actress Jane Denney and they have children. He is an Arsenal F.C. supporter.
