An English actor known for his role as Percy in Blackadder and Blackadder II, and as Captain Darling in Blackadder Goes Forth. He did not reprise his role as Percy in Blackadder the Third due to a fear of being typecast. A guest appearance in series 3, however, makes him the only person other than Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson to appear in all 4 series of Blackadder and also appearing in the one-off special Blackadder: Back & Forth. He has also appeared in Spooks and Doctor Who.
