He would go on to make a name for himself in the international scene, starring in “Penny Dreadful” featuring Eva Green, “Class,” a spin-off of the beloved science-fiction series “Doctor Who,” and “River” starring Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård.
One of his bigger roles was in the movie “A Private War” (2018) starring Rosamund Pike and directed by Matthew Hinman, in addition to the Danish movie “Daniel” (2019) with director Niels Arden Oplev.
