The third of four siblings (two older brothers, one younger sister), McFadden was born in Glasgow to Irish immigrants from County Donegal.[2] He was educated at Holyrood R.C. Secondary School in Glasgow, where a drama teacher recognised his talent and recommended him for a part in Scottish detective show Taggart.[3]

After taking a role in Take the High Road, he then developed his career in the theatre with roles as diverse as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Rent and Rainbow Kiss at the Royal Court. He then took roles in television series The Crow Road and Sex, Chips and Rock ‘n’ Roll. He played the title role of Aladdin at The Old Vic opposite Sir Ian McKellen and played Dr Jack Marshland in the original series of the Emmy award winning Cranford. After that he came to national attention playing PC Joe Mason in Heartbeat for two series.[4]

After that role ended in 2009, he mixed theatre doing National Theatre of Scotland with director John Tiffany and touring in the Alan Ayckbourn play Haunting Julia and the Harvey Fierstein play Torch Song Trilogy playing Ed. He has also starred in such films as The Trouble with Men and Women, Zig Zag Love, Dad Savage and Small Faces.

From January 2014 to December 2017 he had a leading role as Raffaello "Raf" di Lucca in the BBC One medical drama Holby City.[5] The character was killed off in the two part episode "Group Animal".
