Since the Dexter wrapped up, he has performed in the theatrical productions Hedwig and the Angry Itch and Lazarus. He's also dabbled in voiceover work, voicing a recurring character in the kids show Star vs. the Forces of Evil and narrating some documentary projects.

Earlier this year, it was announced that he would be appearing on the Netflix drama The Crown as President John F. Kennedy.
