He is also known in Britain for his audiobook recording, especially as a reader for all the famous Harry Potter novels, he has also recorded the entire Holmes cannon in "the Definitive Audio Collection". He portrayed the British Prime Minister Alastair Davies in the 24: Live Another Day TV series, which aired in 2014.
He is very tall, about 6' 5" (1.95 m), and quite heavy-set, which often makes those who work with him seem less imposing.

Earlier in his career much was made of his sexual orientation, but this has seemingly been eclipsed by his popularity and cyclothymia.
