He co-owned the Natural Nylon film production company along with Sadie Frost, Jude Law, Jonny Lee Miller and Ewan McGregor.[1] The company went out of business in 2003.
His voice is frequently heard in a variety of television commercials and documentaries, including the medieval empire building computer game Medieval: Total War and futuristic war games Killzone 2 (as Colonel Mael Radec) and Fire Warrior (as Governor Severus). He is also the voice behind the Northeast's tourism advertisement which started broadcasting at the start of 2009.
