He has appeared in Trial & Retribution, Birds of a Feather, A Touch of Frost and Black Books. He also played Paul in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Mario in the 2000 film Going Off Big Time and appeared as a cab driver in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the pawn shop owner in Fast & Furious 6.[4]

He has a love of motorcycles and has customized some in the streetfighter style, as created by designer/artist Andy Sparrow, in his strip Bloodrunners[5] in the 1980s. One such streetfighter was featured in the 1995 movie Mad dogs and Englishmen and ridden by C. Thomas Howell's despatch rider character.
