He subsequently starred in the BBC four-part series Wives and Daughters (1999) before joining the 2000 Royal Shakespeare Company season in Stratford-Upon-Avon, where he took leading roles in the three main plays of that year: Orlando in As You Like It, Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet and Antipholous of Ephesus in The Comedy of Errors, playing opposite David Tennant.
After leaving the RSC in 2001 he filmed three TV series; Ultimate Force, Helen West and the first season of Foyle's War. He went on to spend more than ten years in Foyle's War, working alongside Michael Kitchen and Honeysuckle Weeks.

Two years later he played Trigorin in a new adaptation of Chekhov's The Seagull by Evening Standard Award winning writer, Anya Reiss at the Southwark Playhouse.
