At age six, he began formal dance training, a fact he initially kept private.

Concurrently, he took on a prominent television role as Abraham Woodhull in the historical drama series “TURN: Washington’s Spies” from 2014 to 2017. His performance in “Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool” (2017) earned him a second BAFTA nomination, highlighting his continued critical recognition for dramatic roles.
