He moved to Dublin after university to further his acting career, joining the renowned Abbey Theatre. In the early 1990s, he moved again to the United States, where the wide acclaim for his performance in Schindler's List led to more high-profile work.

He has also starred in several other notable films, from major Hollywood studio releases (ie.

Deception, Breakfast on Pluto, Chloe).
