Franco Zeffirelli cast him as Mercutio in his screen version of Romeo and Juliet (1968), the first in a series of films that are difficult to categorise: The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun (Anatole Litvak, 1970); Le bateau sur l'herbe (Gérard Brach, 1970); Bartleby (Anthony Friedman, 1970); Nicholas and Alexandra (1971); Days of Fury (1973); Little Malcolm (1974); Alle origini della mafia (1974); The Land That Time Forgot (1975); Galileo (Joseph Losey, 1975); Schizo (1977); and The Duellists (Ridley Scott, 1977). He first joined the RSC in 1975 to play Private Meek in Too True to be Good (Clifford Williams, Aldwych). His one prolonged phase of work with the Company was dominated by Shakespearean comedy: Antonio in The Changeling (Terry Hands, Aldwych, 1978); Pistol in The Merry Wives of Windsor (Trevor Nunn/John Caird, RST, 1979, Aldwych, 1980); Sir Andrew in Twelfth Night (Hands, RST, 1979, Aldwych, 1980); Roderigo in Othello (Ronald Eyre, RST, 1979, Aldwych, 1980); and William/Mr Mantalini/Mr Snevellicci in Nicholas Nickleby (Nunn/Caird, Aldwych, 1980, 1981, New York, 1981). He has returned twice: in 1991 to play Weston in Sam Shepard's The Curse of the Starving Class (Robin Lefevre, Pit), and in 2001 to create one of the leading roles in Nick Stafford's Luminosity (Gemma Bodinetz, Pit). In 1995, at the National, he played Lord Castlereagh in Ernst Toller's The Machine Wreckers (Katie Mitchell), and Lord Willoughby in Richard II (Deborah Warner, both Cottesloe). Since 1997 he has been one of the regular senior players at Shakespeare's Globe. His fine character work has helped to give artistic credibility to a popular tourist attraction: Pistol in Henry V (Richard Olivier, 1997); a 'decrepit knight' in Thomas Middleton's A Chaste Maid in Cheapside (Malcolm McKay, 1997); Jaques in As You Like It (Lucy Bailey, 1998); Shortrod Harebrain in Middleton's A Mad World, My Masters (Sue Lefton, 1998); Enobarbus in Antony and Cleopatra (1999); the Fool in King Lear (Barry Kyle, 2001); John of Gaunt in Richard II (Tim Carroll, 2003); and the assassin in Marlowe's Edward II (Timothy Walker, 2003).

(1985); Gulag (TV, 1985); Sins (TV, 1986); Codename Kyril (TV, 1988); Little Dorrit (1988); Precious Bane (BBC, 1989); The Krays (1990); The Fool (1990); Osric in Hamlet (Zeffirelli, 1990); Uncle Ted in Hanif Kureishi's The Buddha of Suburbia (Roger Michell, BBC, 1993); Black Beauty (1994); Jack Durbeyfield in Tess of the D'Urbervilles (ITV, 1998); and Lord Ardent in Merlin (TV, 1998).
