He is known for his role as the young Alan Turing in The Imitation Game (2014) for which he won the London Film Critics' Circle Award for "Young British Performer of the Year" in January of 2015.

He also starred alongside Michael Begley and Michelle Collins in the new Hampstead Theatre play The Glass Supper.

He is a brilliant young actor and we will hopefully see more of him in the future.
