He returned to the UK in recent years with shows in The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, The National Theatre and The West End.

He has also co-starred as a series regular alongside his father, Sir Patrick Stewart in the Starz series Blunt Talk and is the co-host of the esteemed podcast series The Foxhole Companion, a compelling history of World War 2 cinema.
