He was born in Belgium, but grew up near Farnham, Surrey, where he attended Frensham Heights School, at the same time as fellow actors Hattie Morahan, Tobias Menzies, Rufus Hound and Jim Sturgess.

At the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, he played the title character in the Fringe First nominated one-man show, Diamond Johnny Ray, by Cathianne Hall.

2009 saw his first appearance in a major feature film, playing the American actor John Hoyt in Me and Orson Welles, directed by Richard Linklater.

In 2015 he returned to the world of Doctor Who playing Chris Cwej, companion of the Seventh Doctor, in the Big Finish adaptation of Russell T Davies' Virgin New Adventures novel Damaged Goods. He reprised the role for adaptations of Original Sin and Cold Fusion.
