He is the star, alongside Natalie Clark, of Ryan Hendrick's multi-award winning short film Perfect Strangers (2015) and of the same director's feature-film version Lost at Christmas (2020). [2] His plays include Playthrough and An Isolated Incident,[3] and in 2021 he received a New Playwrights Award from the Playwrights’ Studio, Scotland.[4]

His debut novel The Tick and the Tock of the Crocodile Clock will be published by Lightning Books in 2022.[5]
